Get ready to start building the wardrobe of your dreams! A classic collared button-front shirt is a staple garment that every sewist should have in their arsenal. Eliza is an expert garment sewist who will walk you slowly and carefully through the construction techniques involved in building a well-finished collar and cuffs. The classic Archer Button-Up pattern from Grainline Studio is the perfect canvas to sew and wear through any season; the menswear Fairfield Button-Up or plus sized Cashmerette Harrison Shirt may also be used.

Please come to class with your fabric already cut out. We will be sewing View A of the pattern. If you are not confident about preparing the pattern and cutting out the fabric at home, our Sew Clothes With Confidence virtual class (will be offered in-person in spring 2022) may be the best fit for you.

Notion operates on Western Abenaki land. Limited to 6 participants. Requires 3 participants to run. In the event of cancellation due to low enrollment, registered participants will receive notice and a refund 3 days prior to the scheduled start date of the series.

Please note our sewing studio space is on the second floor with no elevator access. We sincerely apologize for any difficulty this creates. Don't hesitate to contact us with questions at hello@notionvt.com.
