Build a Better BLOUSE Instructor: Shannon Gifford Join us as we explore blouse construction. This class is divided into two parts: Part One (approximately 10 days) will deal with basic blouse construction. We will learn techniques to improve the finished appearance of our blouses, and will learn a simple, step-by-step procedure for construction. Lessons will include the following: simple changes to reduce bulk. the best wrist cuff plackets. seam finishes for delicate blouse fabrics. sleeve caps with support. beautiful shaped hems. Part Two (approximately 10 days) will use a "menu" of additions and changes that can be made to our basic blouse pattern, inspired by designer clothing and high-end ready-to-wear. These additions will include: two types of wrist flounces. a draped sleeve overlay. two new necklines. a tailored back pleat. a trendy pleated peplum. three different applications for tucks. making a blouse with sleeves into a sleeveless blouse. a bias, free-floating button band. Class is a combination of PDF downloads, Q&A boards and Interactive real time chat sessions with the instructors. Starts on: Not Available Notify Me when this class becomes available.
