Ready to take your sewing skills to the next level? Join us to sew a Donny Shirt by Friday Pattern Company in this advanced-beginner workshop!
The Donny Shirt is a boxy pull-on top that is designed to be a workhorse in your wardrobe. It is a dartless top with a lapel collar and patch pocket. The Donny is a great everyday top that can be worn with practically anything. Because of its boxy silhouette, the Donny is comfortable but still cool. Pair it with jeans or a skirt, layer it over or under a dress - the sky’s the limit! Best of all this pattern includes sizes XS/0 - 7X/32.
In this two-part workshop, you'll learn the basics of shirt construction, including sewing a collar and a pocket. You'll gain an understanding of sewing from a purchased pattern, AND you'll sew a super-cute top, 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 and attach a lapel collar, shirt yoke, and facing
- Sew gathered stitches
- Set sleeves
- Sew a a patch pocket
This is a two-part intensive workshop being held on the following dates:
- Sunday 8/10 and Sunday 8/17 at 11:00 am-3:00pm
(Students must be available to attend both dates)
Beginner sewing experience is required; This is not a learn to sew class. You must have basic machine-sewing skills and be able to operate a sewing machine independently. Prior garment sewing experience is very helpful!
