Build your sewing skills! Join us and learn to sew with 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 this super cute and versatile tank!
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 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 Luna Tank by Helen's Closet in this class. Note: this is a free pattern, but you must download, print and assemble it prior to class. Check out Helen's Closet's super helpful tutorial on how to do this. Don't worry if you've never assembled a pattern yourself before. This is a small one :-) Another option is to have the pattern printed at a copy shop such as Brooklyn Motif.
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.
