Cowl Me Maybe Top and Dress Virtual Sewing Workshop

The Cowl Me Maybe Top & Dress Virtual Sewing Workshop is meant to accompany the Cowl Me Maybe Top & Dress PDF pattern.

Workshops are taught by Isabelle Levine, founder and pattern designer for Izzie. All sessions are pre-recorded from her home studio in Brooklyn, NY. Designed as a slow pace, easy to follow tutorial for beginners, or sewists of any level, looking for a fun way to sew with your friend and teacher, Izzie.

The workshop includes 4 separate sessions, breaking down the pattern into smaller segments. Each session includes between 2-3 hours of footage utilizing a 2-camera set-up, 1 focusing on the table/sewing machine and 1 focusing on Isabelle so you can see her face while she instructs you through the entire construction process in real time. There is also a workshop portal where students can ask questions directly to Isabelle.

Students will need a computer, tablet, or smart phone with access to the internet in order to watch the workshops.
