Ornella Top

Beginner •

WHEN: Saturday, September 19th • 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM

WHERE: Eclectic Atelier • Hosted in partnership with Ana

WORKSHOP DETAILS

You’ll learn how to navigate a garment sewing pattern, understand the construction order, and build confidence as you turn flat pieces of fabric into a finished garment you can actually wear. We’ll work through the pattern step-by-step, from cutting your fabric and transferring markings to constructing and finishing your top.

This workshop is the perfect next step for beginners who are ready to move from accessories into garment sewing.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Your registration includes the Ornella Top pattern, fabric, notions, and a sewing machine to use during class. Your measurements and pattern size will have been determined during Part 2, so we can jump right into making your top!

PLEASE NOTE: This registration is for ONE individual class in the four-part Handmade Head to Toe series. It does not include the other three classes. Each class must be purchased separately, or you can register for the full four-week series if you’d like to attend all four.

SKILLS PRACTICED

  • Reading and following a garment sewing pattern

  • Understanding pattern sizing and ease

  • Fabric cutting and transferring markings

  • Garment construction

  • Sewing seams and finishing edges

  • Working with woven fabrics

  • Pattern assembly and construction

  • Building garment-sewing confidence and MORE!

SKILL LEVEL

Beginners ages 16+ who have some basic sewing machine experience. No previous garment-sewing experience is required.

We’ll move at a beginner-friendly pace with step-by-step instruction and hands-on guidance throughout the workshop.

FABRIC DETAILS

Your top will be made using 3 oz, 100% cotton fabric featuring traditional India ink block printing. Because these fabrics are hand block printed, slight imperfections, variations in the print, and subtle differences in color are natural and make each piece unique.

A NOTE ABOUT THE SPACE

This workshop is hosted in partnership with Ana of Eclectic Atelier. We’re excited to spend another evening sewing, learning, and connecting with fellow makers!

What People Are Saying

“I forgot how much I enjoyed sewing!”

“I hadn’t sewn since high school, so I was definitely a little rusty when I came to Sewing Basics. Kaitlyn made everything easy to understand and never made me feel silly for asking questions. By the end of class, I felt so much more comfortable using a sewing machine and excited to keep sewing at home.”

— Sewing Basics

“I made a whole DRESS!”

“I had literally never touched a sewing machine before this class, and somehow I left with a dress that I MADE. Kaitlyn walked me through everything step by step and was right there anytime I got stuck. I honestly didn’t think I could do it, but now I’m already thinking about what I want to make next!”

— Solig Dress Workshop

“I finally know how to use my own machine.”

“I had a sewing machine that had been passed down to me, but I had no idea how to set it up or actually use it. I brought it with me to Sewing Basics, and Kaitlyn helped me get everything set up and taught me how to use my specific machine. It was so nice learning on the machine I’d actually be using at home. Now it doesn’t feel nearly as intimidating!”

  • While it's encouraged to bring your own sewing machine if you have one, machines are available to you during each workshop.

  • Absolutely! Threading, winding bobbins, adjusting tension, or figuring out "Why is it making that noise?"—I've got you covered in my Beginner Sewing Class.

  • No need to bring anything! Unless otherwise noted, class tuition includes all supplies needed.

  • Workshops are limited to 6 participants to allow for plenty of individual instruction and support.

  • Most of my group workshops are recommended for ages 16 and up so everyone can comfortably keep pace with the class. If you have a child or teen who is interested in sewing, please reach out before registering. Depending on their age, experience, and the class, I may be able to recommend a workshop or arrange private lessons that are a better fit.

  • You will—and that's part of learning! I'll help you figure out what happened, show you how to fix it, and we'll keep sewing.
