I am posting this in case anyone has the chance to take this course. If I were nearby, I would. Take a Sewfari with Claire Shaeffer Chanel and That Suit June 6-11, 2005; October 10-15, 2005; January 4-9, 2006 Sew Any Fabric January 10-15, 2006 Join Claire for 5+ days to improve your sewing skills, stimulate your imagination, expand your horizons, and meet new friends. "CHANEL AND THAT SUIT" focuses on Coco Chanel, her life and contributions to fashion, the House of Chanel, the Chanel suit, and the French dressmaker suit. You will examine original Chanel suits from haute couture and ready-to-wear collections as well as line-for-line copies and knock offs; and you will view slides from museum collections, including the upcoming Chanel exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. You will learn traditional couture techniques to design and create an original French dressmaker suit. (Only Chanel can create a Chanel suit.) "SEW ANY FABRIC" will broaden your understanding of fabrics, show you how to polish your sewing skills, help you avoid disasters, and teach you how to communicate with your fabric to unravel its secrets so you can sew any fabric successfully and confidently. Designed for everyone who wants to achieve quality results, but doesn't have a lot of time to sew, this workshop focuses on those challenging fabrics you've been collecting, basic techniques for all fabrics, silks, double cloth, and novelties. All workshops are taught by Claire, America's foremost expert on couture and fabrics. A frequent contributor to numerous magazines and college instructor for more than 20 years, she is the author of 15 books, including "Couture Sewing Techniques", "Sew Any Fabric", "Claire Shaeffer's Fabric Sewing Guide", and "High Fashion Sewing Techniques". Her Custom Couture Classics for Vogue Patterns feature classic designs with couture construction techniques. All workshops are $995. for early registration.
