SUMMARY:Hand Stitch T-Shirt with Cal Patch (Knit Fabric)
DESCRIPTION:Three 2-hour classes on Sunday afternoons from 2-4pm.\n\nYarn F
 arm loves Cal Patch!\nSewing on a machine is quick and practical\, but for
  many it’s difficult to find the dedicated time and space required to ma
 ke it a regular habit. Moving your sewing practice into the realm of handw
 ork (like knitting\, crochet\, and embroidery) means you can stitch up gar
 ments whenever you have a few spare minutes\, or on the couch at night whi
 le watching a movie\, and carry a project with you so you always have it o
 n the go. Sewing by hand adds an element of meditative calm to your sewing
  practice. Amazingly\, you might find you can finish a hand-sewn garment s
 ooner than a machine-sewn one!\nWe will work with a pattern (see supply li
 st for options) for a simple\, knit T- shirt and learn how to sew seams\, 
 finish necklines and hem edges with only your hands and a needle and threa
 d. Several methods for each type of seam will be shown\, so you may also c
 reate a sampler of extra techniques.\nNo prerequisite skills\, though an u
 nderstanding of basic sewing principles will be helpful. You will need to 
 have your pieces (front and back only\, skip any facings) cut out before s
 tart of class.\n\nSupplies needed:\n— Pattern for simple t-shirt (see li
 st below)\n— Fabric: light-to-medium weight cotton jersey or interlock k
 nit fabric. Quantity as indicated for your size* on pattern\, but 2 yards 
 is probably\nsufficient for most. Solid\, print or stripes\, your choice!\
 n— Front and Back pieces (and sleeves if pattern has them) ALREADY CUT O
 UT of your fabric (no need for any facings included in pattern). Please us
 e simplest version with no added seams\, unless you don’t mind extra hom
 ework.\n— Fat quarter or approximately 12-18” square (smaller is fine)
  of similar or\nsame fabric (could be a scrap left over after cutting) for
  sampler\n— All-purpose thread\, can be contrast (to see your stitches) 
 or matching\nand/or size 8 Perle Cotton\n— Hand-sewing needles in a few 
 sizes\, or your favorite size\n— Pins\n— Scissors\n— Marking tool (c
 halk\, wax or pencil) and ruler\n— Optional: Thimble\nPlease use one of 
 the following patterns\, or a similar T-shirt or boxy top:\n\n— Boxy Tee
 /Drapy Tunic\, OR T-Shirt pattern\, drafted in a previous class with Cal\,
  or from her online video class\, or tutorial found on her website (for bo
 xy tee only). (NOTE: please just do the simple version without the seam an
 d pocket)\nhttps://calpatch.com\n— Jade T-shirt\nhttps://shop.made-by-ra
 e.com/collections/knits/products/jade\n— Lou Box Top\nhttps://www.sewdiy
 .com/shop/lou-box-top-pdf-pattern\n\n— All Well Box Top**\nhttps://www.e
 tsy.com/listing/713038843/all-well-box-\ntop-sewing-pattern-hacking\n— S
 hirt No. 1**\nhttps://shop.100actsofsewing.com/collections/digital-pattern
 s/products/100-acts-of-sewing-shirt-no-1-pdf-sewing-pattern\n\n**These are
  loose-fitting tops\, meant for woven fabrics\, so they have some ease bui
 lt in. so you may wish to choose a size or two smaller than called for acc
 ording to your measurements\, for a more fitted t-shirt. If you are very c
 oncerned about a perfect fit\, you may wish to machine-stitch a muslin/fit
  sample first\, or baste your cut pieces\, to confirm size.\n\nTeacher: Ca
 l Patch\nClass Size: min 3 and max 5\nClass Fee: $180 for the course of th
 ree 2-hour classes\n\nDuring your course\, you may shop with a 10% discoun
 t on full-price items (some limited items are excluded from this discount)
  on the dates your class meets.\n\nFor classes with Cal Patch\, minimum 3 
 people to confirm the class\, maximum of 5 students total. If we don’t r
 each the minimum of three students by one week before the date of the firs
 t class we’ll refund your purchase in full. Read and understand our Clas
 s Policies here. \n&nbsp\;\n\nRegister here!
