Service Description

Learn to sew your own cozy sweatshirt and/or sweatpants set in this focused, two-hour workshop, using only a standard sewing machine — no serger required! You'll work with sweatshirt fleece and learn the appropriate stitches for sewing stretch knits, how to attach ribbing at the cuffs, waistband, and neckline, and how to use a twin needle and an overlock (stretch) presser foot to get professional-looking, stretchy seams and hems. By the end of class, you'll walk away with a finished, wearable set. Bring your own fabric, and new or salvaged trim, or choose from a limited selection provided by the instructor. What to Bring • Sweatshirt fleece, 3–3.5 yards for both top and bottom, or 1.5depending on size — look for a two-way stretch cotton/poly fleece; avoid four-way stretch fabrics like athletic/swim knits, which behave differently under the machine. • Ribbing/rib knit fabric, 1/2 yard, for cuffs, waistband, and neckline (should coordinate or contrast with your fleece) Ages: Adults only Students should have completed Machine Basics or have equivalent experience operating a sewing machine before taking this class.
