Interested in learning about couture sewing techniques? The American Sewing Guild – Maryland Chapter is hosting a full day workshop with Susan Khalje – couture dressmaker and master teacher. Susan will demonstrate a range of basic hand-sewing stitches, a hand-picked zipper, ultra-thin spaghetti straps, a beautifully controlled narrow machine hem, perfect angled seams, covered snaps that are attached with a buttonhole stitch, thread chains and thread bars, seaming lace invisibly and faggoting.
Susan received her professional sewing training at the New York couture salon, Chez Cez et Bez and later worked as a fashion designer and manufacturing supervisor on 7th Avenue in New York. She is a contributing editor of Threads magazine and was recently awarded the Association of Sewing and Design Professionals Lifetime Achievement Award.
I have attended several of Susan’s classes and she is extraordinarily skilled in the techniques of couture and is a terrific teacher.
