The Sicily dress from Masin patterns is widely known in the sewing community as being the bias cut summer dress to make. There are 2 options, either sleeveless or spaghetti straps, or if you are not a "dress person", it can be made shorter and become a top.

In this class, you will learn:

• how to work with fine fabrics
• how to cut bias garments
• how to sew french seams
• how to make spaghetti straps

You will receive a digital copy of the pattern which can be printed either at home or at a printing shop. The dress requires a fabric with drape, such as rayon, silk, viscose, or a linen/viscose blend.
