Introducing your new favorite winter jacket - the Helsinki Jacket by Leisl + Co.  This unlined, oversized jacket with dropped sleeves offers two views - in class, we'll be making View A, the semi-cropped jacket with shaped side pockets. This jacket sews up gorgeously in our Double Sided Sherpa fabric and is intentionally oversized. For a more fitted jacket you might want to size down one size.

During this 2-weekend class, students will learn to sew with heavy-weight Double Sided Sherpa fabric.  You'll gain experience using a serger and the Acufeed walking foot system on our Janome Skyline classroom machines.
