This class will use the Perfect Period Panty pattern to make our period undies. This pattern includes sizes XXS-6X, and up to a 72” hip. If you fall outside these measurements, reach out at hello@sophiehines.com!

The pattern is not included in your class fee.

Included class files will be emailed to you after checkout. You can download the files up to three (3) times, so make sure you download it on your personal computer and keep it filed in a safe place!

Please make note of which materials are not included in your workshop fee, and be sure to purchase and have them ready prior to the start of the class.

We will be covering all skills and education in the first three weeks.

• If you are a confident sewist and find yourself ahead of the curve when you're in classes or have budgetary constraints, the 3 Week workshop is for you! You'll come, you'll see, you'll conquer!

• If you are more of a beginner, prefer to move slowly and carefully through your projects, or love to linger with your classmates, the 4 Week workshop is your jam! You'll get all the same education, but there's no rush to keep up.

If you select 3 Weeks and find you want to join on the last day or are feeling rushed, you can add on Week 4 at any time! If we have time on Week 4, we will cover customizing your panty pattern, and how to turn any panty sewing pattern into a period pattern!
