Cielo Dress and Top - "Long Sleeve" - w/Carrie - September 18, 2026, 10:30 am - 4:30 pm RALEIGH

Looking for a sweet little number to take you into fall?

Come make a cute boxy top or shift dress with lovely long sleeves (or opt for short sleeves if being cool and collected is more your style).  

The Cielo offers a streamlined, beginner-friendly approach for bringing these garments to life.  

Join Carrie for a fun day of skill building while adding to your wardrobe a garment design that you' ll want to make again and again.  We' ll begin by reviewing the basics of working with patterns, selecting sizes, and preparing the fabric, then we' ll examine a variety of seam finishes (yes, you can use a French seam inside the sleeve!).  Next, we will work with basic darts, an elegant bias binding finish for the neckline, and completing the long sleeves as one or two parts (we' ll be focusing on longer sleeves, but feel free to choose a short-sleeved option).  If you made the short-sleeved version in the past, come learn to work with the pattern' s gathered long sleeve and other sleeve options to personalize your look.  

If you' re a beginner, focus on making the top to master the techniques, then build on those skills while making the dress on your own at home.  Those with more experience could make the top or the dress.
