Who is this for?
This workshop is for anyone that wants to be able to sew the Harper with easy, straightforward instruction, and wants to learn how to adapt the pattern for a better fit or create different styles using it as a base.
The Harper is a simple, straightforward pattern—so beginners can really create a wearable garment quite quickly. But it's also a great jumping off point for pattern hacks and fitting adjustments, making it fun project for more advanced sewists.
This class covers everything from the basic fundamentals of garment construction to more involved pattern edits, so there's something for everyone. I think it's best suited for beginners and intermediate sewists that are eager to deepen their skills.

Hi! I'm Liz.
When I started Elizabeth Suzann 11 years ago, I was limited to a straight stitch sewing machine, serger, and my self-taught sewing skills (the same tools most home-sewists have access to), which makes our styles *so* well suited for DIY.
After sewing many of our customers orders myself, creating over 1000 development and photoshoot samples, and drafting and grading all of our patterns, I have tons of tricks up my sleeve to make sewing easy and efficient. And I've made plenty of mistakes that I can help you avoid! I can't wait to sew with you.
Sewing your own clothing is truly transformational.
You will find so much connection with your body and personal style, and you will feel immense pride when you can wear something you made with your own two hands. And trust me, you are so capable! My approach to sewing is relaxed and open-minded. There is no mistake we can't fix, and there are many ways to create a wonderful garment. We'll find what works for you and make it FUN!
