Program Description

Event Details

We learned how to adjust the pattern to make sleep pants, now let's make adjustments for shirts. You can make the pajama shirt that came with the sleep pants pattern or bring another simple shirt pattern to make.  A basic T-shirt would be great. We will just be making the pattern adjustments and laying out the pattern on your fabric. You won't have time to sew the shirt in class, but we'll send you home with the adjusted pattern pinned to your fabric, ready for you to cut it out and sew.

If you were unable to join us for the pants class, come anyway. We will help measure you so you can make the adjustment typical for your clothing projects.

You will need:

  • Your shirt pattern
  • The fabric recommended on the back of the pattern envelope for your size
  • Your sewing tools (pins, measuring tape, marking pen or pencils, etc)

We will have tissue paper and tape available.
