new class alert! to get the new year of classes at my studio rolling, i thought it’d be fun to try something NEW! i made myself a Wiksten Haori jacket last year (it was part of my Make Nine), and it became my wear-everywhere coat from Spring to Fall. and wherever i went, people told me how much they loved it… leading me to quickly surmise what a perfect project for a class it would be, as it’s so simple to sew, but quite impressive to wear.

Wiksten Haori Jacket workshop
Held at my studio in Kerhonkson, NY

In this advanced-beginner level class, you’ll learn how to work from a sewing pattern and produce a gorgeous, reversible jacket with a lining and pockets. Many style variations (different lengths, pockets, collar widths and fabric placement) make this a project you’ll make again and again, in different fabrics for every season.
Note: Students must bring their own machine to class.

- 2 1/4 to 4 yards light- to medium-weight cotton, linen or other woven fabric for lining
