Build your sewing skills and make a classic wardrobe staple: a zip-up hoodie!
This workshop will be a hybrid virtual/ in-person format. All of the sewing will take place at our shop-- no worries if you don't have a machine at home or if you can't make it to the live virtual session! Here's how the schedule will look:
This will be a virtual info session taking place on Zoom. Your instructor will discuss pattern details and demonstrate how to cut your fabric. Your homework will be to complete all of the fabric cutting/ prep before we meet in person. The Zoom will be recorded, so you'll be able to access the video if you can't attend live or if you need to reference it while you're cutting fabric!
his part will take place at our Greenpoint shop! During this time we will work on the hoodie construction. All fabric must be cut and ready to sew upon arrival.
In this hybrid virtual/ in-person workshop, we'll be working with the Halifax Hoodie from Hey June Handmade. You'll learn how to:
- Follow best practices for using a commercial sewing pattern, including size selection, cutting from pattern pieces, and more
- Sew heavier weight stretchy knit fabrics on a standard sewing machine (not a serger)
- Install a separating zipper in a garment
- Insert a drawstring
- Please note: We will be making View C only in the workshop.
This is a confident beginner garment sewing workshop; you must have basic machine-sewing skills and have sewn projects in the recent past.
