Sewing Level II: Sew a Tee Shirt

In this workshop, we will construct a not-so-basic basic – a cotton tee shirt! This class will explore the nuances of sewing knit cotton jersey, a stretch material that behaves differently from more structured woven fabrics. If you have found yourself struggling to make the jump to knits, this workshop is for you! We will spend lots of time working with a serger, learn to attach a rib collar, and will use stretch-friendly finishing stitches that can be done on any home machine.

Choose from two different tee shirt styles – a classic tee or a boxy crop. White cotton jersey and 1x1 rib will be provided (both fabrics milled locally in Los Angeles), and we will sew with cotton thread so the shirts can be dyed to the color of your choice after the workshop.

This class is perfect for the intermediate beginner who already has basic experience and competency with a sewing machine. Some experience with a serger is ideal, but not necessary.
