Wednesday, January 21, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Elevate your wardrobe with the Joy Woven Vest, a super versatile and stylish piece that is perfectly on-trend! This class is your opportunity to construct a professional, fully-lined garment with a comfortable, easy fit, guided by expert instructor Irene.

The Style Arc Joy Vest features thoughtful tailoring details that make it a chic addition to any outfit:

Flattering Silhouette: Designed with princess seams for a lovely, shaped fit

Polished Details: A sharp V-front neckline leading to a classic button-down front

Tailored Touches: Includes the construction of faux welt pockets at the front for a high-end, polished look.

Signature Styling: Features a distinctive cutaway hem detail at the center back, adding a modern twist to this classic waistcoat style.

Professional Finish: The vest is fully lined for a clean interior and comfortable wear.

Irene will walk you through the construction process, simplifying the lining techniques (which Style Arc patterns are known for!) and ensuring you achieve a clean, beautiful result that you'll be proud to wear.

Prerequisite: This pattern is best suited for intermediate sewists.
