Session Three: Glamour Magic: Frame Your Face with Necklines and Collars Possibilities for necklines seem endless: square, sweetheart-shaped, keyhole, v-neck, cowl-shaped, boatneck, and more! Some of these necklines can easily incorporate collars - with round or pointed corners, a poet or peter pan collar, or go full Laura Ashley in the 80s if you have vintage doilies you can repurpose!
Each of these shapes conveys a different aesthetic, so your playful experimentation in this class will help you find new ways to express your own personal style.
Combine various neckline and collar shapes, length, ease, and layering options with beautiful materials in any or all of the patterns you make. Choose your favorite options to try out during the live workshop and take the rest home to make more magic.

Jamie Ni and I are so excited to share with you our first collaboration: We will be exploring the Winter season from the comfort of our homes.
Winter is a full body experience, and we will be integrating all of our 5 senses as we go deeper into the heart of the season. (This is the secret sewing circle that we have all been waiting for!)
Join us on January 30 & February 6 for a 2 part workshop, where we will come together to hear the sounds of winter, make a tummy wrap to keep our core warm and cozy, and spend time in community while we sew our intentions and love right into the fabric of our wrap and our community. We can't wait to see you and be together virtually.
