The Ins and Outs of Commercial Patterns
Level: Beginner/Advanced Beginner Class description: This comprehensive class is perfect for total beginners, those needing a brush-up, and those who want to venture into the world of garment-making. First, we’ll go over the attachments and tools used in garment sewing, how to sew a straight seam, backstitch, machine tension and troubleshooting. You’ll learn how to take your measurements and purchase the correct pattern for your size, determine the yardage needed, and choose a zipper and notions. Fabric types will be discussed: Knits vs. wovens, fiber types and that confusing term, “nap”! In the second session you’ll make any needed pattern alterations, then you’ll learn pattern layout and cutting techniques. In the 3rd and 4th sessions you’ll construct and finish a simple skirt or pair of pants including zipper installation, darts, fine-tuning the fit, and hemming. You’ll leave with a completed garment and the skills to make more! Before registering, please read my cancellation/refund policies here. Intro to the Machine
