Ready to take your sewing skills to the next level? Learn to sew garments from a pattern in this advanced-beginner workshop! If you want to learn to sew from a pattern, gain an understanding of garment construction, and begin sewing your own clothes, this is the workshop for you!
In this 1-day intensive workshop, you'll gain an understanding of sewing from a purchased pattern, AND you'll sew a super-cute Tee, custom made to fit your body. You'll leave this class with the skills and confidence to tackle more garment sewing on your own.
You'll learn how to:
- Measure the body accurately to create a perfect fit
- Work from a commercial pattern, including size selection, deciphering instructions, cutting from paper pattern pieces, and more
- Understand garment sewing basics such as proper fabric prep, pinning, cutting, ironing and troubleshooting
- Become familiar with sewing jargon commonly found in commercial patterns
- Cut fabric and assemble a garment the right way
- Sew a Patch Pocket
- Work with Ribbing
- Sew a hem, create a faced neckline, and more.
We'll be working with the Merchant and Mills The Tee Shirt pattern in this class. Note this is a woven, non-stretch Tee Shirt.
This is a beginner garment sewing workshop; you do not need to have any experience sewing clothing, but you must have basic machine-sewing skills.
