Join Lora Wheeler as she guides you through creating her original take on the classic French Workman’s Jacket - a versatile, easy-fitting layer designed to become a favorite in your wardrobe.
With its relaxed silhouette, this jacket is flattering on all body types and can be styled for any season. Wear it over a light dress for a summer occasion or pair it with a turtleneck and jeans when the weather turns cool. Lora has made and sold nearly 100 of these jackets for friends, clients, and shops in Carmel, and now she’s sharing her original pattern with you!
One of the best features of this jacket is the opportunity to make it truly your own. Combine multiple fabrics to create a unique, one-of-a-kind piece, or showcase a single special fabric or vintage linen. During this one-day class, Lora will guide you through the construction process while helping you make your fabric choices work beautifully with the pattern. If you’ve taken a class with Lora before, you already know she’s happy to help you make just about any fabric work!
Build your garment sewing skills while creating a timeless, versatile jacket you’ll reach for season after season.
