 Sound like you? Then this is the class for you. 


In this 75 min video lesson recording, I’ll share how to understand fabric descriptions, demonstrating  several cottons, viscose and knit fabrics to help you understand and assess how common fabrics drape. In addition to the video lesson access, there is also a written work book plus the slides used in the video presentation.
