The Sauvie Sundress is the perfect strappy summer dress to reach for when you are wanting comfort, ease and style in those hot summer months. It's also perfect for layering over a t-shirt as a pinafore when the temperatures drop. Sauvie can be anything from a swim cover-up to a casual summer dress to an elegant evening gown depending on your fabric choice.

Level: Confident Beginner 

This is a good class for developing your skills as a confident beginner. If you know how to sew a straight line, can follow a seam allowance, and have recent experience using a sewing machine, you are ready for this class. We will briefly review the use of the Bernette sewing machines in our sewing studio at the beginning of the class. You should come to class with your fabric laundered and your fabric pieces already cut for best use of time in class. 

Price: $105.00
This includes up to eight hours of instruction in a small group setting, use of our machines and equipment in the sewing studio, and a copy of the Sauvie pattern. Fabric for the dress will need to be purchased, and will include a 20% discount if bought from Chateau Sew.

Time: Saturday, April 25th from 9am to 5pm.
There is not a dedicated lunch break. Feel free to bring snack and beverages.
