Seams To Me …

Are all seams created equal?  Nawt!

Do you know your French from your Hong Kong?  Your Stitch In The Ditch from Flat Felled?  If you're not sure how to move from the straight away and navigate that curve to create a professional looking garment, than this is the class for you!  Appropriate pressing techniques and use of sewing implements (marking, cutting, feet and needle choice) are all included as you create 12 basic seams and finishes.  A written syllabus and personalized coaching are provided.

Collars, Cuffs & Pocket Flaps

Learn a new method of cutting and stitching collars so that the points match, pocket flaps don't have strange bumps and sleeve cuffs don't become a nightmare.  These simple details make the difference between a professional look and the dreaded "made with loving hands" look.

Custom T's

Are you tired of buying t-shirts that are too short, too long, too big, too small? Are the sleeves too long or too short? Does the neckline sag and bag or so high it chokes you? Join this class and make a custom fit t-shirt that fits you in all the “spots”. You will alter a ready made pattern to fix all your problem areas with ready made t-shirts. In the second class you will make samples of different types of neckline, sleeve and hem finishes. Learn how to apply ribbing just like they do in ready to wear t-shirts. Make bound necklines, curved and ribbed hems and sleeves. The options are endless!

Student skill level: Beginners: Must have basic sewing and serger skills. If using a serger, students must know how to thread their sergers.

Teacher: Sue Green-Baker

Class Fee: $80.00
