1. Waist Cincher Corset in a Day! Joining us this year is an international expert from Farthingale, one of the worlds leading suppliers of all things corset, bustier, waist cinchers and more. Learn how to insert boning, a front closure called a busk and so much more! Important skills to learn for bridal, evening and costume wear.

2. Beyond the Ruched-T,  offered by 2012 ASE Teacher of the Year, Angela Wolf. In this class you will gain pattern making skills that will allow you to make changes to a single pattern to achieve many different looks. You will be empowered to use these techniques on all your favorite patterns.

3. Simple Jacket/Fabulous Fabric, taught by designer and fiber artist, Barbara Crawford. First, create your own unique fabric with several surface design techniques. Then sew-up the jacket and wear it to the Expo the very next day. Fun, creative and productive all in one class, it doesn't get any better than that!

4. Sweaters: Couture to Costume, taught by Simplicity pattern designer, Andrea Schewe. This class has so many opportunities; the sweater you make in this workshop can be an everyday sweater, an evening wrap or even a costume piece. Recycle and re-purpose sweaters from your own closet or the thrift store and be delighted with what you learn. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from an industry expert.
