Design, draft a pattern and sew a pair of Cargo Bloomers at this two day class. Not only are they comfortable in hot weather and attractive on all body types, but they are practical too!
This is a two day evening workshop. We will draft patterns and cut fabric on the first day and sew the bloomers together on the second day. Both classes are Thursday Evening.
You will go home with a pattern and a pair of cargo bloomers. No experience necessary.
Only 4 openings available for this class. Cost is $20 per student to be paid by Paypal when you sign up for the class. Scholarships are available from the St. Clair Aeronauts for people in need. Please submit a note of explanation. Please email Sophia St. Clair at Stclairaeronauts@gmail.com to reserve your spot in the class. First come first served. The price of the class is non refundable but can be transfered to a later class if you can't make this one.
There is a high demand for this class, so please do not take one of the few positions unless you really mean to attend. I hate to see a long wait list and then get a last minute cancellation.

To Decorate your cargo pockets and bloomers:
Ribbon in different colors and widths (you will need 1" ribbon to make proper ribbon roses and such)
