Stretch T-Shirt
Create your own stretch jersey T-shirt! You’ll use an overlocker, so your jersey garment will be springy and robust – rather than baggy and saggy. (Unlike overlockers, sewing machines can’t create truly stretchy seams).
You’ll begin the class with an overview of how stretch fabrics are constructed, choose a perfectly-sized (and right on trend!) bat wing-style pattern with short or 3/4 length sleeve variations, pin and cut, then get stitching! You’ll take home a T-shirt of your own creation, plus the paper pattern so you can stitch more at home.
This is a great workshop to learn about sewing with knits and to have the opportunity to try out – or further – your overlocking skills. Please note: Although experience using an overlocker is recommended, it’s not essential. We’ll thread up the machines for you and walk you through stitching steps. (IIf you’d like to learn to use an overlocker from the ground up, try our Overlocking Made Easy class.)
