You have a serger and perhaps a cover-stitch machine. Now what? Join Candace to learn tips and techniques for using your serger and cover-stitch machine to make garments and home-dec projects. 

The Tami Double Hoodie will be a 2-part class (3 hours each) as this pattern is a bit more challenging and we want to have time to finish this garment. The TAMI Revolution Double Hoodie includes 3 hood options, 2 lengths, 2 zipper options, 2 pocket options, 2 cuffs and so much more.  This is one pattern for all your seasonal sewing.
