Lesson #1: Page 1

Welcome to our Caraco class. Over the next 4 weeks we will be making a clever little jacket from a total of 7 pattern pieces, including the sleeve flounce.Hopefully you have all received your patterns, and are ready to begin. We'll take a quick look at the caraco from an historical perspective and then select fabric, stitch up fitting muslins, and make pattern adjustments, as necessary. So, with your forgiveness, ready …set…sew!
