Taught by Sonya Philip
Artist and designer Sonya Philip demystifies the sewing process while teaching you how to make Dress No. 3 from her pattern series "100 Acts of Sewing." This v-neck dress wears like a kaftan and has a long, relaxed fit, perfect for lounging inside or poolside. Sonya walks you through how to trace a pattern and cut out your fabric, then demonstrates how to adjust a sewing pattern to create two different versions of the garment: a shortened length with round neckline, contrast cuffs, and patch pockets, and the addition of a fabric belt and loops with a cute ruffle at the hem. Easy to sew and easy to wear, Dress No. 3 is beginner-friendly and gives you many options to fit your personal style. This pattern includes a size range of Small (32” bust) to 4X (53” bust).
