This is a 4 week in-person machine sewing course that will be held in our sewing area at Community on Wednesday evenings with a maximum class size of 6 students.

In this class, students will learn how to sew a knit t-shirt on a regular sewing machine. Students will learn how to choose the right knit fabric and make pattern modifications for their desired finish. While constructing the garments, students will gain experience in working with digital pdf patterns, choosing their desired size, cutting knits, and assembling and finishing a garment using stretch stitches available on home sewing machines.

While this is a beginners level class, students are required to have a basic understanding of how to use their sewing machine and have the knowledge covered in our Beginners I course.  If you don't yet know how to use your machine, please sign up for our Beginners Sewing Course.

Supplies are not included in the price of the course. We will be using the free Core T-shirt pattern from Closet Core Patterns. You will need access to a home printer to print your free pdf pattern. **You are responsible for bringing your own sewing machine and supplies.** You will receive a supply list from the instructor at least five days before the course begins.

The instructor, Nissa McKinney, began her sewing journey more than ten years ago at a beginner’s class at Community. That class gave her the foundation she needed to start sewing more advanced projects. Today, a large percentage of her wardrobe is handmade - from jeans and t-shirts to coats and dresses. Sewing has become her superpower! When not sewing, she works s a writer for a kids' science journal, provides shuttle service for her two kids, and squeezes in a dance class or two at Dancefx.
