About

This class is the NEXT STEP for beginning sewists!

This unisex design from Ryliss Bod is a terrific and practical coat that everyone can use. The hood protects you from rain and there are great pockets for your keys and phone, both inside and out. You will want to make more than one!

For those who have taken beginning sewing classes, this class will be a great next step.  You will learn seam finishes for unlined garments, how to make a hood, add facings, sleeves and pockets.
