Sewists with larger bodies often feel excluded from the worlds of both ready-to-wear and handmade fashion. Even sewing patterns that include your measurements may not accommodate your unique shape. Enter Josephine Miller's class at Notion! In a safe, body-positive environment, Josephine will walk you through the full process of garment fitting and construction. At every step along the way, she will address the unique concerns of sewing for plus sizes. Everyone will finish the course with a wearable garment that fits them. Those with more sewing experience may have time to add embellishments.

The Grainline Scout Tee is a very versatile pattern that is drafted to include hip measurements from 42-59 inches around (approximately sizes 12-32 in retail sizes). If your size falls outside the drafted range or if you have concerns regarding this pattern and your body, please get in touch so that adjustments can be made for you--ALL plus size bodies will be accommodated in this class.

Note: If you are interested in learning about pattern adjustments, but your measurements fall in a standard size range, please read about our other fit, alteration, and garment construction classes at notionvt.com. This class is specific to plus sizes.

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.

COVID-19 safety statement: This class will take place indoors with as much physical distancing as is feasible to provide quality hands-on instruction. Masks are required for all, regardless of vaccination status. Our staff is fully vaccinated. You will be updated via email if our health and safety procedures change.

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.
