REGISTRATION FORM
If you love the look of sheer organza, chiffon, georgette or lace but are afraid to sew with them, this
workshop is for you. With Marla's help and a little practice you can eliminate your fears and learn methods
for working with a variety of transparent fabrics. From pattern selection, cutting and marking to sewing
seams, darts and hems – tame those sheer fabrics from start to finish.
Create a blouse, dress or skirt in the sheer fabric of your choice. Marla will assist you in selecting appropriate
fabrics and patterns before you arrive, or come a day early and spend the day shopping Portland's renowned fabric
stores. (See "Optional Shopping Day" below)
We will begin with the basics of fit, cutting and construction. Practice a few samples of techniques such as French
seams, single thread darts and narrow hems to get the feel of sewing on sheer fabrics. Then focus on the specific
techniques you will need for your project. Spend 5 days in a relaxed atmosphere – improving your skills and creating a beautiful garment.
Space is limited to 6 students to ensure individual attention. A $50 non-refundable deposit will reserve a space for you.
The workshop will be held at the Fairfield Inn & Suites - Portland South/Lake Oswego,
located at 6100 SW Meadows Road, Lake Oswego OR 97035. Accommodations are available at the Fairfield Inn or other
nearby hotels. Contact the Fairfield Inn directly at 503-670-7557 or 800-228-2800, or visit
www.fairfieldinn.com to make a reservation.
You may bring your own sewing machine or arrange with Marla to borrow one.
Workshops begin at 9:00 AM and finish each day at 5:30 PM. The classroom is available to you in the evening and will be locked securely overnight.
Lunch is included each day. There are many restaurants within walking distance for dinner on your own.
OPTIONAL SHOPPING DAY
An optional shopping day on Wednesday, May 18, will give you an opportunity to visit many of the fabulous fabric stores
