Level 5: Advanced Classes
You are a seasoned sewist, and love challenges.
Sewing a great-fitting shirt is an essential skill builder!
SKILLS YOU WILL GAIN: In this three-session ( total of 8 hours) workshop, you will learn how to alter and grade your pattern, use fusible interfacing, install a yoke, sew set-in sleeves, install a collar stand and a shirt collar, install a placket with buttonholes, and sew on cuffs. Also, you may want to add patch pockets or learn edge stitching techniques.
Once you register, your instructor will email you to schedule dates and times and provide sizing information so you can order the correct-size pattern. We will also discuss the material for this shirt. If you need help with sizing or your measurements fall outside the pattern sizes, please email us for an extra time appointment.
