Welcome to Learn to Sew Knits, in this course you will gain the confidence to start sewing with stretchy knit fabrics and the tools to do it.
This workshop will take place over 4 weeks. We will start with the Acacia Underwear by Megan Nielsen to get you comfortable working with knits. Next we will make a Core T-Shirt by Closet Core Patterns. This is a classic crew neck T-shirt with a slightly boxy fit, the pattern comes in two lengths with two sleeve options. And finally we will make an Elemental Pencil Skirt by Sew House Seven Patterns. All of these patterns are free through the pattern designers.
In this course you will learn to sew a knit band, set in sleeves, add elastic and knit hems.
