Sewing 2: 6 Week Sewing Course

Description

For those who have completed my Sewing 1 Course, this Sewing 2 Course is for you!

I used to break this class up into 2 separate classes: aprons and t-shirts. I’ve decided to combine these projects into a six-week sewing course because the skills learned on both of these projects are essential to sewing!

Our first project will be an apron with a matching oven mitt. Skills learned on this project include: ruffles/gathers, pockets and lining.

Our second project will be t-shirts. Students will be learning how to sew on knit fabrics (yes, it’s different than sewing on wovens!!) The pattern I have selected for students comes from Ellie and Mac Pattern Company and is the “Kid’s Color Block Tie Top” pattern. The adult version of this pattern is the “Autumn Spice” pattern. I have patterns available for students to use, but if you would rather purchase your own pattern to keep, or if you’d rather choose a different top pattern, you can do that from their website (click here). I like Ellie and Mac patterns because they are very easy for beginnings to learn on! On a side note, they have a free pattern section as well as weekly pattern sales, so if you want to start collecting patterns and sewing your own wardrobe, I encourage you to check them out!!

At this level, it is good for students to learn how to select their own fabric and choose something they like, so students will need to provide their own fabric for these projects. However, if getting out and shopping is difficult (or if you want to use charter funds on fabric), students can select fabric from me for an additional fee. Please let me know at the time of registration.

Materials Needed For Apron:

• Main Fabric & Lining (we’ll use the same fabric for both): 1 1/2 yards
• Ruffle & Waist Ties: 2/3 yard
