Sewing 102: Sewing with Knits
In this class, we’ll cover the unique properties of stretchy fabrics, the right tools, stitches, and machine setups, plus how to cut and sew without distortion. Your first project will be a raglan top, an easier sleeve style that lets you focus on mastering necklines, the trickiest place to hide mistakes. While sewing with knits can feel intimidating, they often hide small errors better than wovens, making them perfect for building confidence and creating comfortable, well-fitting garments.
Learn the basics of sewing with knits! This class is designed for beginner sewers with a focus on construction, not fit.
Supplies:
- Pattern (teacher will help you pick your knit pattern from Five Eighth Seams)
- Knit Fabric (Medium weight to heavy weight, NO lightweight/rayon blend knits, teacher will help you pick)
- General sewing supplies (i.e. pins, scissors, marking tools, etc.) these supplies should be brought every week
- Sewing machine (If you don't have one, you can rent one! The machine rental fee is $30 and covers the three weeks of the class)
- Ballpoint Needles
- Matching Thread
- Any notions according to the chosen pattern.
