She will then go onto show how to put these together and construct the garment. \n\n\n\nFrom Jennifer: “I am on the screen the whole time (except for the break) and do demonstrations at set times\, so people can choose to work away from the screen\, but come back to these times to watch the next bit.” \n\n\n\n*Each student will need a copy of the template I will email and share with participants in advance for this workshop.
