Garment Finishing Workshop

Are you “stuck" on finishing a garment or craft creation? Do you need some assistance on a technique or creative inspiration to finish?  Want to know what to do next with your design or pattern? In this lecture/workshop, you can learn techniques on how to do garment construction with patterns.  Em and staff will teach you how and you can use our facility & expertise to finish the projects you bring in.  We will cover a range of topics, techniques and skills based on your project creation (setting sleeves, collars, making darts/pleats/tucks, finishing seams, making buttonholes & closures, etc.)

In the class you will need to bring your machine, project, supplies (rotary/scissors, needles & pins, new sewing needles (size & type of which should be determined based on your garment /craft creation fabric). You can purchase supplies at a 15% discount.

Students must have completed New Users/ Get to Know Your Sewing Machine Class (or have a basic understanding/mastery of their machine to take this class), as well as basic understanding of reading & sewing with a pattern (All About Patterns is a great class to learn!). Students need to bring their own project for class!
