Fairfield Button Up - Shirt Making with Diane
This class is perfect for an adventurous beginner or intermediate sewist starting on a button up shirt, appropriate for both men and women. However, please note that this pattern is most suitable for a straight fit. Diane recommends any forms larger than a C cup that wish to have a more fitted shirt take the three hour class the week before for fitting. It is called the Fitting the Fairfield for Curvy Bodies. If you have already done the Scout Tee Fitting Class (or have your own fitting experience) and feel confident with your skills, please feel free to apply them and use them in the pattern for this class. Notable features you will lean in this class are sewing collars, buttons and button holes, and shirt cuffs.
The class is a total of 6 hours in two, 3 hour sessions.
Purchasing this class provides you with the teaching time and the pattern. You will also need to purchase the amount of fabric needed for the size of shirt you wish to make from SEAMS. We require the purchase of fabric from SEAMS since the class price is entirely in support of the teacher. The SEAMS Team greatly appreciates you supporting both the teacher and the store.
