Class Description:

Nothing looks, fits or feels better than a custom-made shirt. Learn the inside secrets found in those $200 ready-to-wear designer shirts as you sew along creating a Tommy Bahama custom shirt with perfect topstitching. Learn the secrets to match fronts and pockets seamlessly. You will be setting perfect convertible or 2-piece shirt collars, pockets, sleeve setting & designer details, all without a single pin or basting! Before you know it, you will find your skills in high demand. Isn't it time you learned the secrets to sew top quality shirts for men and women?

Rosebud will be teaching this one-day class at the Creativ Festival 2008 fall show in Toronto, Ontario.  This class is not to be missed.  Last year the class sold out early, so register as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.  VIP registrants get first choice of classes.  If you attended last year, you can always sign up again and refresh your skills.  This time we will all be constructing View A of the Islander Shirt with the fold back facing and convertible collar in a drapey, soft fabric.

The Fine Print:  Kits are available while quantities last and until the Fall 2008 Creativ Festival.  Kits sales are final; no returns, refunds or exchanges.  Taxes and shipping are extra.  Kits without the pattern may be ordered at the total special kit price less $19.95 (but remember you need the pattern for the class, so be sure to order it unless you already have it from a previous purchase).  Kits are sold as described; there can be no substitutions or change in fabrics selected.  To ensure there are enough kits for the Creativ Festival class registrants, there is a limit of two (2) kits per customer.  Customers wanting more kits can add their name to a waiting list.  Available kits will be sold off after October 1, 2008 at the special kit price.  Kits will never be sold at a lower price that what you have been given here.
