The Harper Tunic is an ES staple. It is so easy to wear, and it's also a very easy and fun garment to sew. In this one-day virtual workshop, we will make it together live in one day, and you will leave with a completed garment and several ideas for repurposing this pattern into other pieces for your wardrobe. This workshop is hosted over Zoom from my home sewing studio. Workshop size is limited to 30 participants in order to give adequate time for questions and 1-1 assistance!
What does the workshop include?
- Harper Series digital sewing pattern
- Full-size printed pattern files
- Prep class and full Saturday workshop (8 hours of live instruction via Zoom)
- Recordings of prep class and workshop to rewatch at your convenience
- Optional 30 minute 1-1 Zoom follow-up to troubleshoot, discuss fitting, or pattern hacks you'd like to try (included in workshop price)
- One-time 20% discount on all ES fabrics
Class structure and schedule: The main workshop is one full Saturday, with a shorter prep class ahead of time to review the pattern, confirm fabric selections and any pattern changes, and make sure you have everything you need ready to go.
There are two different workshop dates available in June. Choose your preferred Saturday. Both workshops will attend the same prep class. Recordings of the prep class (and full workshop) will be sent the following day in case you aren't able to join us or would like to rewatch.
The workshop is six hours long, and I will demonstrate live exactly how to do each step, providing lots of context, tips, and alternative options. You can follow along and work on your garment in real time, or just watch and ask questions during the class and work through the steps on your own time. You can ask questions any time–this is live so you can get help when you need it!
Prep Class Date:
- Tuesday, June 3, 6-8PM CT
Workshop Dates (you will choose ONE of these workshop dates to attend):
- Saturday, June 7, 10AM-4PM
- Saturday, June 14, 10AM-4PM
How our workshops
actually work
All workshops are hosted live, virtually over Zoom.
Each workshop includes a prep class where we'll review fabric and size selection in advance so you're ready before we dive in.
Regular weekly classes are 2-3 hours long. I will walk through every step, completing it with you live providing lots of context, tips, and alternative options.
You can follow along and work on your garment in real time, or just watch and ask questions during class and work through the steps over the next week.
Students are encouraged to ask questions live in real time, but if you can't make a class you can send in questions ahead of time and I'll cover them for the recording.
Office hours are Monday evening each week, hosted via zoom for one hour. This is a great time to work on fine-tuning your fit and pattern adjustments or troubleshoot anything that comes up between classes. These are casual and optional!
Recordings of all live sessions will be sent the following day in case you aren't able to join us or would like to rewatch.
Seats are limited for all workshops to ensure adequate time for questions and personal guidance.
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 many ways to create a wonderful garment. We'll find what works for you and make it FUN!
We'll-figure-it-out-together-guarantee
My goal with our live workshops is to make sure you leave with the skills and confidence to keep sewing with joy. If there is a technique, pattern or fit issue that's challenging you, we'll figure it out together even if it takes some extra time. I've got you!
