Join us for a practical, confidence-building class where you’ll sew the **Wardrobe By Me Boxy Raglan Sweatshirt** while learning all the key skills you need for working with stretch fabrics. This workshop is ideal for beginners to knit sewing as well as sewists wanting to deepen their understanding of stretch materials.

During the class, you’ll learn:

✔ Which stitches to use for stretch fabrics

Discover the best machine stitches for sewing knits — and when to use each — to create strong, flexible seams.

✔ How and when to use a twin needle

Master professional hemming and topstitching techniques, including setup, tension, and troubleshooting.

✔ How a walking foot can help

See why a walking foot makes sewing knits easier by feeding layers smoothly and preventing stretching or slipping.

✔ Choosing the right stretch fabrics

Not all knits behave the same! We’ll explore stretch percentage, recovery, weight, drape, and how these affect your finished sweatshirt.

✔ Overlocker/Coverstitch: Pros, Cons & Hands-On Practice

We’ll discuss when an overlocker is helpful, when it isn’t necessary, and its advantages and limitations.
You’ll also have the chance to try overlock and coverstitch stitching during the workshop, so you can see how it feels before deciding if an overlocker is right for you.

Pattern Included

Every participant receives the original Wardrobe By Me Boxy Raglan Sweatshirt pattern, yours to keep — so you can sew more at home with confidence.

By the end of the class, you’ll have a beautifully made sweatshirt and the essential knit-sewing skills to make many more.
Join us for a friendly, supportive sewing day and create a cosy wardrobe staple you’ll love wearing!
