Sew Stretch Fabrics in a Day (Make a Sweatshirt)

Join us for the day and learn how to sew with stretchy fabrics.

We'll start easy so that you can learn the techniques and before you know it you will be making a wardrobe full of different t-shirts, dresses and jumpers for all the family. 

They are surprisingly quick to sew but are totally different in the techniques used to woven garments (almost opposite in many ways). 

You'll learn what needles, stitches and threads to use; what stabilisers work; and how to attach neckbands, cuffs and hems successfully. You can even have a go on our overlocker to finish the seams if you would like to.

We use the classic Tilly and the Buttons Billie Sweatshirt pattern as it has all the features that you will need to learn about and has a great size range. Alternatively, you can use the Wardrobe by Me Builder T-shirt pattern (using the high scoop neck version). Let us know at the time of booking if you would prefer this pattern.

The pattern is included in the price of the class but the materials are not.

Dates: Friday 23rd October or Saturday 7th November

Time: 10am - 5pm
