DIY One Hour Maxi Dress


chacha n'kole maxi dress sip and sew

Hello Lovelies!

I announced yesterday on social media that our Sip & Sew project for this week would be a maxi dress (voted by popular demand). Honestly I never really cared much for maxi dresses on myself so I don't even own one. I've seen so many people rock them in different colors and prints and they looked gorgeous. I just felt that since I am so short or vertically challenged as some would say, that it just wouldn't look great on me. Boy was I wrong!

After I received numerous request for maxi dresses I knew that I would have to make one prior to class to show which style we would be making. On Monday I cut out and pinned the fabric for my maxi dress which took about 35 minutes and on Tuesday I sewed it all together which took 25 minutes. Within one hour total I made an easy, breezy and adorable maxi dress. Come to my Sip & Sew this coming Saturday, April 16th to learn how to make your own maxi dress www.chachankole.com/sewalong .

Meet Me At The Cafe

This Sunday is the first Sunday Sew Cafe...I'm really looking forward to it! Probably for a reason that you wouldn't expect. I don't get out much...go figure...so the Sunday Sew Cafe is kind of like a person who never has anyone over their house, but wants friends and all of a sudden someone calls and says "I'm coming over" LOL... Sometimes I just want creative people around. People I can bounce ideas off or give suggestions to or just enjoy each others company. Everyone needs to be in the presence of other passionate people in their field. It helps you stay motivated and gets your juices flowing. 

Will I see you on Sunday Friend?

Remember... I want to hear from you!!!

National Sewing Sessions

My sewing sessions are National now!Yaaaaaaay!

I'm extremely excited to teach people all over the country the art of garment construction. I always wanted to teach, but I never thought that I would enjoy it this much. I had my first virtual sewing session with a boutique owner in Texas lastnight and it was seriously like an interactive YouTube video...so cool! I have a lot of projects I'm working on now, but once things slow up I'm definitely doing a sewing tour. I can't wait! I'll keep everyone updated once all the dates are set.

Want private sewing lessons, but you're not in the Philadelphia area? No problem! I now offer virtual sewing sessions via Skype!!! Check out my website for more details www.chachankole.com/sew ...I look forward to working with you!

Remember... I want to hear from you!!!
