Sew a Summer Dress

Some dresses stop you in your tracks. The Ella Dress is one of them.

In this seven-hour workshop, Kelda guides you through making View B of the Ella Dress by Silversaga Patterns — a flowing, romantic maxi dress with a softly gathered bust, bias-cut skirt and beautifully elegant lines. It's an intermediate make with some genuinely satisfying techniques, and the result is the kind of dress you'll wear to everything.

Want to see how gorgeous it looks? Browse the pattern tester gallery here — made by real sewists in all shapes, sizes and fabrics.

Please note: you'll need to print and prep your pattern pieces before class. Full instructions will be sent after booking.
