Build your sewing skills! Join us for this two-part workshop and learn to sew with stretchy knit fabrics. It will open up a world of possibilities for making your own stretchy garments, from t-shirts and undies to tunics and dresses!
You'll learn the basics of sewing knits, while also learning how to use a commercial pattern as you create super comfy leggings or bike shorts!
In this class, you'll learn how to:
- Work from a sewing pattern, including size selection, cutting from pattern pieces, and more
- How to sew stretchy knit fabrics on a standard sewing machine (not a serger)
- Understand stretchy sewing basics such as proper fabric prep, pinning, cutting, ironing, thread and needle choice, machine settings, and trouble shooting
- Cut fabric and assemble a garment the right way
We'll be working with the Virginia Leggings Pattern by Megan Nielsen in this class, using the version of your choice -- choose from narrow and wide waistbands and five inseam options and cuffs that can make up bike shorts, 3/4 length leggings, or full length leggings. Whichever you choose, you'll leave class with the know-how to fill your wardrobe with many versions of these versatile bottoms!
This is a two-part intensive workshop being held on the following dates:
Saturday 2/8 at 3:30-6:30pm and Saturday 2/15 at 3pm-6pm
This is a confident beginner garment sewing workshop; you do not need to have any experience sewing clothing, but you must have basic machine-sewing skills.
