Over locking Workshop: Make your own T-shirt and Sweatshirt (weekend course)

Description

Learn the skills to make your own organic cotton t-shirt and sweatshirt!

During this course, Abigail will take you through the step-by-step process of handling a 4-thread over-locker, handling sweat-shirting jerseys, amending patterns and inserting jersey ribs.

You will leave this workshop with a beautiful organic cotton tee and sweater bespoke to your measurements and personalised with your design features such as labelling and cuffs.

Each attendee will receive:

• The use of all equipment and resources to make their items such as; an over-locker, sewing machine, fabric scissors, pattern master etc.
• The course costs include the Sara Kristen #sweatpeaweatshirt and tee printed paper patterns and instructions which you get to keep so you can keep on making more garments and practice and perfect the art of sewing jersey.
• Materials and trims of the highest quality will be used. The fabric is organic cotton fleeced back sweat-shirting and organic cotton single jersey from a supplier with excellent transparency and a fantastic history of fair trade fabric. The threads we will use are compostable and suitable for jersey wear.
