The Ultimate T-Shirt: Fitting & Construction

via Craftsy

Overview

Description From their Oregon studios, the Tilton sisters share decades of design and sewing experience, showing you how to modify and sew a T-shirt pattern for a flattering fit. You’ll approach knits with confidence, from choosing and cutting out fabric to sewing stable seams and finishing edges for a polished look. Learn the ingenious secret of easing in sleeves and choose between two collar types. Follow along as the sisters construct the basic T-shirt, then show how to modify it and make it your own. Put your imagination to work – you’ll want to make a dozen! Important Pattern Information The sewing pattern on which this class is based — Vogue 8793 — is not included with your purchase and may be out of print — check with online retailers. This class is rich in essential sewing techniques, so if the pattern is out of print, we encourage you to look for an alternative pattern with similar style details. You might also be able to find the original pattern through a private reseller.
