SM Beginning Serger Garments w/Candace - Hoodie or Dress
You have a serger and perhaps a cover-stitch machine. Now what? Join Candace each month to learn tips and techniques for using your serger to make basic knit garments. We will select a different garment each month and utilize time saving techniques to make serging easy and fun. This class is designed for the beginning serger but everyone is welcome to come join in this fun social serging class.
November's class will be a choice of the Unwind Sweater/Hoodie and the Add-on pocket patterns OR the new Lounge Dress pattern. They are both relaxed dolman sleeve patterns with several neck, hood, sleeve, and hem options. This is the perfect pattern to "mash" (mix and match with other patterns) Not interested in a dress, this dress pattern makes a perfect nightgown. Create something soft and warm for the winter months.
Fabric: Sweater Knit, French Terry, Rib Knits, Scuba, Wool, Stretch Velvet, ponte and most other blended knits work well for these patterns. You decide how warm or cool you want your garment to be.
Pattern Emporium is an Australian company so set the price option to USD.
