Does a young person (aged 11 - 13) in your life want to make clothes? Do they have some sewing skills under their belt? Then this class is for them!
We will be using The Foundation Pattern from Thread & Sprout. Although we will be making the short-sleeved t-shirt in this class, your child will receive the full pattern which also has options to make a top with ¾ length sleeves, as well as a short- or ¾ length-sleeved dress!
Your Child Will Learn How To:
Use a PDF pattern
Take your body measurements
Understand basic pattern information
Choose the right fabric for their project
Prepare their fabric for sewing
Sew their top
How to hem
You Child Is Welcome To Join This Class If:
They are aged 11 to 13
They can confidently thread a machine, wind a bobbin, and operate a machine.
Supplies To Bring:
Week 1:
Bring yourself and your child to Gala Fabrics on Saturday, October 10th at 10 am! I will be going over some sewing pattern basics, teaching your kids to take their measurements, deciding what size of tee to make, and figuring out how much fabric they’ll need to buy.
I can help you choose the fabric with your child that they want to use for their project. Gala Fabrics generously offers 20% off to Gather & Stitch students for their class supplies! If your child already has fabric and thread - or you want to pick it up somewhere else - this is also absolutely fine!
Weeks 2 and 3:
Bring fabric (washed and dried) and a spool of thread (such as Guterman or Mettler, no vintage or dollar store thread, please!)
(If they have and want to bring it) Their sewing machine, foot pedal, empty bobbin and sewing machine manual
I Will Provide:
A printed copy of the sewing pattern (a $15 value)
Digital files for the pattern (a $20 value)
All tools and equipment
(If needed) A sewing machine, foot pedal, and empty bobbin to use in class.
