Test your sewing skills with knitwear, and dressmaking. In this 3 session class we will be making a stylish wrap dress. The wrap dress has become iconic thanks to the remarkable Diane von Furstenberg who introduced it in the late 60s early 70s. It has seen a few iterations over the years, including the faux wrap, but Sarah will take you back in time to the original beauty and its timelessness.
