In this Technique + Project class we will learn about the wide variety of knit fabrics, from beginner friendly to super stretchy. Sew up your reference samples of stitches and seams; stabilizing shoulder seams; neck and hem finishes; golf shirt style placquet and more. We will measure for the correct size of your selected T-shirt or sweatshirt pattern and make any adjustments. Cutting and sewing your garment with expert guidance will complete your project. Sewing machines are required and sergers are optional to complete the main garment assembly. Make your T-shirt unique with your combination of style, neck finish or sleeve length.
