It’s time to start sewing! In this lesson, we’re going to construct the Benning dress. You’ll learn how to sew bust darts, the faced neckline, inseam pockets, and the gathered tiered skirt.
While this pattern is beginner-friendly, we assume that you’re not an absolute beginner and you have some experience cutting out fabric, finishing seams, and using your machine and tools. If you need extra help along the way, click the “Links” tab below the video player or hop onto the Community to post a question.
