This is a 6-week in person machine sewing course that meets once a week. It guides the students through the process of making a lantern sleeve dress or top (student's choice) from one of Community Service's own sewing pattern. The dress can be made in a mini or midi length. 

The class meets on Tuesday evenings and will be held in our sewing area at Community with a maximum class size of 6 students.

Basic sewing skills are required for this course. Students need to have an understanding of their machine and its settings, and basic clothing construction and finishing techniques. If you have never used a sewing machine or made a garment before, please take our Beginners Sewing and/or Beginners II courses before signing up for this class.

This course will include learning new techniques like adding a facing, sewing in a zipper, darts, and creating gathered sleeves with elastic.

Supplies are not included. **You are responsible for bringing your own sewing machine and supplies.** You will receive a supply list at least from the instructor at least five days before the course begins.
