Sewing Camp: Camp Shirts!
This camp workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to sew or practice (no experience needed!)! There will be 5 sessions ($25 ea) needed to finish the shirt. Setting this class series as a one-time-purchase, but please let me know if you'd prefer to pay $25 before each class. Classes are on Tuesdays from 5:30-8:30pm: 1/10, 1/17, 1/24, 1/31, and 2/7.
1/10 Session 1: Use a class-provided Camp Shirt sewing pattern to cut out your choice of materials. Feel free to bring your own material (will need 1.5-2.5 yards depending on fabric width, size, and short vs long sleeve. Message me for specific questions!), or choose from some upcycled options at the studio. Seattle Recreative is a great place to get secondhand fabric. Thrift stores also have a great selection of linens and fabrics that'd be great for a button-up camp shirt. A medium-weight woven fabric (imagine a bedsheet or tablecloth fabric) is what to look for. This fabric won't have any stretch or be too heavy for the machines.
1/17 Session 2: Begin to sew the shirt. We'll use home sewing machines for the basic seams, and look at different ways to finish the seams for a clean finish. We'll also apply interfacing (provided) to stabilize some of the front and collar. Feel free to bring your own home sewing machine or use a studio-provided one.
1/24 Session 3: Continue sewing!
1/31 Session 4: This session will most likely be finishing the hems on the sleeves and hem, and adding pockets.
2/7 Session 5: Finishing touches! Use some studio provided vintage buttons to finish up your shirt. Or feel free to bring your own (4-5 needed for short sleeve, or 6-7 for longsleeve).
