Course Details

Think about the majority of your wardrobe. Most of us wear knitwear for comfort and ease of fit, but we avoid knits in our sewing projects. Why? Because we’ve been told that they are “hard to work with”, and that you need a serger for success. In this class, we’ll take the anxiety out of working with knits by learning the specialized notions, machine settings, presser feet, and finishing techniques for truly satisfying results.

Know Your Knits 101 is a two-part series so that we can explore and practice sewing different kinds of knits (there are SEW many!). Choosing a simple pair of leggings, lounge pants/shorts or skirt lets us focus on technique and fit without feeling rushed.

You’ll also be able to experiment on a serger to see what that machine can add to your knit sewing game. But rest assured, you don’t need a serger to have success sewing knits.

 

Pre-requisite:

You feel confident operating your machine, you know how to pin and cut fabric on grain, and have taken Beginner Sewing Series and Garment Sewing For Beginners or equivalent. 

Please know that all gender identities, orientations, ages, body types and cultures are embraced here.
