Three Saturdays: January 25th, February 1st & 8th
10am–1pm

Do you want to feel more empowered to alter patterns? In this class, you’ll learn to draft two different collars options for the Donny shirt, then learn how to construct one of the two options.

During week one we will cover drafting:

  • Peter Pan collar on the existing neckline

  • Two piece shirt collar, and how to add a button placket down the front of the shirt

In the second and third weeks students will choose one of the options and construct their shirts. You will go home at the end of week three with a finished shirt and pattern pieces for both collar options.
