Are you interested in stretching your knowledge of garment sewing on the serger? Pamela Leggett of Pamela’s Patterns will be teaching us two garment projects from the Pamela’s Patterns Serger Club collection, a sweatshirt-style top and a fleece or wool vest. Both projects tap into current fashion trends and will be made with your serger. Bring your serger for this hands on workshop.
Our morning project, the crew neck sweatshirt-style top, is making a fashion comeback and is a staple for everyday wear. This style is fast, simple, and can be made on a serger from start to finish. Make this top from a sweatshirt fleece, french terry, cozy sweater knit – the fabric possibilities are endless. You will learn basic top constructions including seams and sleeves, and more specialized construction for neckline, cuffs, and bands. Techniques will include differential feed, quartering, sewing in the round, and more. Pamela will also give you her tips for picking the right knits, band ratio, and stabilizing. What you learn in this class will carry over to help you get great results for any fashion serging projects in your future!
No matter what the weather, it’s always great to dress in layers. A vest is the perfect transitional garment and we’ll make one after lunch. Thanks to the wonderful decorative stitching capabilities, you can create a stylish vest almost completely on the serger. Grab some wool, heavy sweater or sweatshirt fabric, or cozy fleece. Add a couple decorative threads to your serger and learn how to tackle curves, pockets, differential feed and a unique collar. This project was featured in Pamela’s Fashion Serge DVD from Threads.
Supply lists required and includes how to purchase your pattern, fabrics, special threads for your serger, and other supplies you will need for this hands on workshop. These supply lists will be provided after registration. Lunch is included.
