Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this sewing & textile class:

Join us to make a Tilly and the Buttons Billie, an ultra-comfy sweatshirt or sweater dress with a relaxed shape, crew neckline and fun balloon sleeves! 

In this three-part workshop, you'll learn how to sew a sweatshirt or sweater dress, including how to:

  • Print and assemble a PDF pattern at home
  • Measure the body accurately to create a perfect fit
  • Work from a commercial pattern, including size selection, deciphering instructions, cutting from paper pattern pieces, and more
  • Understand garment sewing basics such as proper fabric prep, pinning, cutting, ironing and troubleshooting
  • Sew heavier weight stretchy knit fabrics on a standard home sewing machine (not a serger)
  • Sew sleeve cuffs and a crew neck 
  • Sew balloon sleves
  • **Please note: We will be covering versions 2 & 4 only in this workshop.**

This is a three-part workshop taking place on the following dates:

  • Friday - The instructor will demo how to cut out pattern pieces and fabric. Students are to complete these steps at their own pace between the first and second session.
  • Saturday - Students will sew along with the instructor during this session. There may be sewing homework to complete before the next session.
  • Sunday - Students will sew along with the instructor during this session. Some steps may be finished after class at your own pace-- you will receive a recording of the workshop to reference as needed.
