LEARN TO SEW WITH JERSEY FABRICS! T-SHIRT

£150.00 Inc.Vat

May 2024 course dates now available for booking!

Are you confident on the sewing machine? Have you made a few garments out of woven (non-stretchy) fabric, but are too scared to tackle a knit fabric project by yourself? Are you under the impression they cannot be sewn without an overlocker?

Well, we’ve got news for you! Knits can indeed be beautifully sewn on a regular sewing machine with a few simple tricks! Wanna learn how? Come and join this fun class and learn to make our brand new Unisex Classic T-shirt pattern, which you’ll be able to take home for free and make more of this classic T-shirt… you’ll never need to buy another T-shirt again!

The pattern can be adjusted to have a slighter wider crew neck and slightly longer or shorter sleeve or indeed hemline.

Please note you will be making only one T-shirt on the course.

What you will learn

Understand what jersey is and how it’s different to woven fabric
Types of needles and stitches to sew jersey fabrics on a regular sewing machine
How to handle jersey fabric correctly
How to use a rotary cutter for accurate cutting
How to attach sleeves
How to achieve a professional look on hems using a twin needle
How to stretch and sew on a neckline binding without it gaping
How to make simple pattern alterations to widen neckline or lengthen/ shorten sleeves and or hem to your preference

What do I need to bring?

We have a small selection of standard colours (i.e navy, grey, white, black) of 100% cotton jerseys available to buy on the day for £9 a metre as well as matching threads.

*If you would rather bring your own fabric please refer to the types and quantities specified below.

1.5m length of 150cm wide stable knit fabric. *Please avoid thin jerseys as they are not ideal to start with.

Please make sure to pre-wash your fabric prior to attending the class if you are bringing your own.
