Description
Our Beginners Jersey Dress class is a great introduction to sewing with jersey and stretch fabrics on a sewing machine. The Coco dress is a year-round staple that’s so easy to wear. Coco makes a great Spring dress, autumn funnel neck or cosy winter dress. The classic style features a boat neckline, choice of top or dress lengths, three quarter length or long sleeves, with side splits at the hips on the top version. Make it your own with optional sixties funnel roll neck, rolled cuffs and patch pockets.
