If you love crafting, sewing, beading, and designing, this workshop is for you. If you want to leave Paris with something that is both uniquely Parisian and uniquely you, this is a great workshop to try. This experience works best if you come with an idea of how you want to design your jacket-- take a look at custom jean jackets before you go. There are so many options of fabric, decals, trims, buttons, and sequins that if you are indecisive, you won't have enough time to complete your project. The workshop leader was friendly, helpful, and had a good sense of design. The workshop leaders will give you as much or as little help as you need. All of the attendees bonded with each other and gave each other encouragement and design tips. You will have a chance to do some sewing, but the bulk of the sewing is done by MiniMe sewers which is great because you will have more time to choose fabrics and to design. Be sure to allot several hours for this-- this is not a one hour experience. My group stayed most of the afternoon. My jacket turns heads and garners a lot of compliments. This is a great way to spend an afternoon in Paris.
