Rayon Basics - Sew Rayon with Confidence!

Rayon is one of the most comfortable yet elegant fabrics to wear—lightweight, breathable, and known for its gorgeous drape that flatters every shape. But if you’ve ever worked with it, you know it can feel a little… lively. Slippery, shifty, and sometimes unpredictable, rayon has a reputation for being tricky.

The good news? It doesn’t have to be.

In this three-session class, Barbara will guide you step-by-step through the process of sewing with rayon, transforming it from intimidating to inspiring. You’ll learn how to properly prepare and cut your fabric (without the wiggles!), choose the right needles and stitches, and use simple techniques to keep everything smooth and under control. Along the way, you’ll discover how rayon behaves—why it moves the way it does, how it responds to pressing, and how to work with it instead of against it.

With Barbara’s expert guidance and a few game-changing tips and tricks, you’ll build the skills and confidence to sew rayon with ease. By the end of class, you won’t just understand rayon—you’ll be excited to use it, opening the door to a whole new world of flowy dresses, breezy tops, and effortlessly wearable pieces.
