FROM THE DESIGNER:
It's time for an Ora Rosa Patterns weekend. During that weekend, we will make not one but two iconic Oro Rosa patterns. I'm thrilled to walk you through the Tiny Cata and the Mini E. These two bag patterns exude elegance and have so many unique skill-building techniques. This weekend is going to be so much fun, and I can't wait to sew along with you.
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Let's have a double-feature weekend! We will be sewing up two of my personal favorite Oro Rosa Patterns: the Mini E and Tiny Cata. Please note that the patterns are not included in the retreat cost. I do have a special discount code for those who don't already own the pattern.
Before coming to the retreat, you will need to prepare the pieces for the Mini E. I will assist with preparation during a live prep class (there might be a special guest that pops in on this live) in our Facebook group. The date and time will be announced at a later date. This class will be recorded so you can watch it at your convenience within the Facebook group.
The Tiny Cata will be cut, prepped, and sewn in it's entirety at the studio. You will need to bring everything that is listed on the pattern. Attendees will receive their own personal set of templates.
I'm so thrilled to be sewing with everyone who attends this fabulous weekend!
You will receive a coupon to purchase your hardware from the More Me Know warehouse! So all you will need to bring are materials for your Tiny Cata and your pre-cut Mini E.
You will receive a coupon code to purchase your patterns from Oro Rosa. Those are not included within this workshop price and will be a separate purchase directly from the designer.
