Knit Peplum Top Sewing Workshop (Loveland): Sew a Runway-Inspired Knit Top That Actually Fits

Join our Knit Peplum Top Sewing Workshop in Loveland for a hands-on, two-day experience in a supportive, small-group setting at Wild Oats. You’ll learn how to fit and sew a princess-seamed knit top inspired by a Giorgio Armani runway design, with step-by-step guidance so you can get a smooth, flattering fit through the bust, waist, and hips. We’ll use my LCD fitting method (Length, Circumference, Depth) to make adjustments clear and doable, and you’ll leave with skills you can repeat on future knit tops at home.
This is my final in-person workshop of 2026, and class size is limited so everyone gets plenty of individual help.

📅 November 6–7, 2026
🕙 Fri 10:00 AM–2:00 PM, Sat 10:00 AM–3:00 PM
📍  Wild Oats | 649 Denver Ave | Loveland, CO 80537
