Beginner Garment Sewing: The Renee Pinafore Workshop

Join us for a fun 1-day workshop to sew up this versatile pinafore!
Made in linen, linen cotton, cotton canvas, or woven cotton, this airy pinafore will keep you cool on the hottest days!
Wear it in the winter with a turtleneck and a cardigan or throw a denim jacket on with leggings and you're ready to pick some apples.
No need to make a muslin, we'll dive right into the construction of this garment.
