Tees and sweats — whether it’s a stylish matching set or and old vintage faithful, nothing is as cozy as tees and sweats. We love them because of the stretch! And that’s also what can make them tricky to work with.

In this course we’ll be covering all the things you can do to fix and alter tees and sweats on a domestic machine (no sergers or coverseamers). We’ve figured out all the little tips and tricks and we can’t wait to share them with you!

You will leave with sewing samples of new techniques AND you will have the chance to use them on your own garments.

We’re partnering with First Kiss Tattoo and Vintage (right across the street!) for this class - during the 2 days of your class, you’ll receive 20% off their entire shop! And, to celebrate your newfound skills set, you’ll be invited to the next Champagne & Shopping Party in their boutique with on the spot fittings and consults.

Bring:

• t-shirts

• sweatshirts

• sweat pants

• t-shirt dresses

• anything made of t-shirt fabric or sweat shirt fabric (100% cotton is the easiest thing to work with; if you are unsure — bring it and we’ll take a look!)

Learn how to:

• do a proper fitting and determine the right fit for your body

• crop a tee with a finished or unfinished hem

• crop a sweatshirt but keep the waist band

• add channelling for an elastic hem

• make a muscle tee with finished armholes and waist band

• taper sweatpants

• shorten sleeves

• make a tee or sweatshirt more fitted

• use jersey needles and twin needles

• use stretch stitches on a regular domestic machine

• identify a woven vs. a knit (what makes it sweats + tees fabric)
