Intro to Garment Construction - Level 2 (6 Weeks)

Intro to Garment Construction Level 2 builds upon the foundational skills learned in level 1 while creating two new projects! In this series, students will make the Hudson Pants (True Bias) and the Cielo Top & Dress (Closet Core), expanding on techniques learned in Level 1 while introducing new ones such as buttonholes & setting in a sleeve. This pattern & technique-focused workshop runs once a week over 6 weeks. Students will have options for PDF print patterns or tissue patterns available at the shop.

CIELO DRESS/TOP (PDF or Paper Pattern - students choice)



The Cielo Dress & Top is an easy, breezy take on a boxy tee and shift dress. Loaded with interesting details and interchangeable features, it will quickly become a wardrobe-building favourite! 

• Cielo PDF Pattern

• Cielo Paper Pattern - Available at ECQco (15% off for students!)

Choose between a semi-cropped top with a cuffed short sleeve (View A) or a dramatic gathered long sleeve (View B). Or, make an easy-fitting dress with sleek inseam pockets (View C), or without pockets (View D). All views have a slightly dropped shoulder, angled shoulder yoke and roomy fit, with a choice between an elegant bias binding or a faced neckline finish.

HUDSON PANTS (PDF or Paper Pattern - students choice)

The Hudson pant is the piece of clothing that you will wear all of the time. It is comfortable enough to wear around the house, but can easily be dressed up to go run errands. The urban fit of these pants leaves a bit of extra room around the hips and then tapers into a skinny leg. View A is a full-length pant and View B is midcalf.
