Tuesday July 21st | 10am-4pm Have you: Bought an overlocker but still feel a little intimidated by it?or Thought about buying an overlocker but would love to try one first before t aking the plunge? If so, this relaxed and friendly full-day workshop is designed for you. Overlockers can feel confusing at first with all the threads, dials and tensions, but once you understand the basics they can completely transform your garment sewing. In this workshop we’ll remove the fear and help you feel confident using an overlocker while creating your very own handmade jersey T-shirt along the way. During the morning session we’ll focus on understanding the machine itself — threading, tensions, troubleshooting and practising stitches on sample fabrics. Once everyone is feeling comfortable, we’ll move on to sewing a simple jersey T-shirt in the afternoon using the new skills you’ve learned. This class is perfect for sewists who already use a regular sewing machine and would love to start making professional-looking knit garments with confidence. Show more
