Juno Dress Workshop

The Juno Dress

If you love the idea of sewing a tunic or dress for yourself but have been a bit nervous about starting on a larger project like this - We can help!

This workshop will take you through the whole process, step by step, to make your own Juno Dress. Although this dress is so lovely to wear, it is also a great opportunity to really up your sewing game and learn some new techniques such as the button back opening and the gathered welt pockets.
