The cheongsam (qipao) is the symbolic dress of Chinese ladies of every age — its charm is in the close, elegant fit. Learn to draft and sew your own, coached personally to your design. Basic sewing skills are needed first, so this class suits those who've completed our foundation sewing class.
We have trained many students over the years to sew their own cheongsam — especially popular in the months before Chinese New Year. The pattern is shaped to your figure and chosen design.
Sewers with basic skills who want to make their own cheongsam — for Chinese New Year, a wedding, or a special occasion. If you're new to sewing, we suggest starting with our 12-hour foundation class first, then moving on to the qipao.
You draft and sew a complete, fitted cheongsam in your own fabric and design. Along the way you learn the details that define the garment — the collar, the shaping, the fastenings.
