Copy Your Favorite T-shirt
Learn how to create a custom fit t-shirt using your favorite as a pattern! In this two session class you will learn how to draft, fit and sew a comfy t-shirt using knit fabric and your own measurements. Great for confident beginners looking to explore garment sewing.
Materials Required:
1-1.5 yards of "trial" knit fabric (for practice shirt)
1 yard of pattern ease
1 well fitted t-shirt (to base your pattern one)
Colored pencil or pen for marking
What to Bring: Sewing machine, jersery/knit needles, thread, flexible measuring tape, rotary cutter, scissors and pins or clips.
Please wash, dry and iron fabrics before class. After the first class you will have a better idea of how much "good" fabric to purchase/bring for your final t-shirt.
The first night we will create a pattern from your own t-shirt, cut out a "fitting" t-shirt, sew it up and discuss fit changes.
The second night we will make any changes to the pattern & cut a second t-shirt, out of your desired knit fabric.
*Trial knit fabric could be an oversized t-shirt, a jersey knit bed sheet, or knit fabric that you have at home but don't have a plan for.
