garment series: fran pajamas

Elevate your lounging game with the Fran Pajamas by Closet Core!  Join Alissa in the studio this February to make this stylish and cozy matching set.

This comfy pajama set features tailored details with a slouchy fit that look just as good in bed as they do glammed up on the town.  The Fran Top features a shirt collar, cuffed sleeve, back yoke, inverted back pleats, and button loop at the neck.  The Fran Pants feature a straight leg with a slightly paper-bagged elastic waist, an optional drawstring, inseam pockets, and a back pocket.

During this series, students will learn tons of great garment sewing techniques, including learning the "burrito method", how to insert a collar, sewing buttons and buttonholes, practice top stitching, and creating a drawstring.  This class is suitable for intermediate level students who have garment sewing experience. 

If you prefer cutting your fabric under the guidance of your instructor Alissa, we're offering a cutting session on Friday, January 31st from 6:30pm-8:30pm.  If you are unable to attend the cutting session, you will be required to cut all of your fabric on your own and bring it to the first class with you.  Register for the Cutting Session HERE!
