Intro to Sewing: Knits

Hold your favorite t-shirt up to the light, look closely, and you will be able to see a series of loops—like very small scale knitting. This grants knit fabrics the unique properties that differentiate them from wovens. A notable feature of knits is their ability to stretch, making them ideal for activewear, swimwear, loungewear, and other garments designed for comfort and movement. In the Intro to Sewing Knits course, we will guide you through the industry methods of sewing a basic t-shirt.

In this class you will learn:

·      How to set up a commercial sewing machine with the option to work on a commercial serger

·      Basic sewing techniques for knit fabrics

·      Pressing techniques

·      Step-by-step instruction on t-shirt construction including placing a pocket, topstitching, inserting a ribbed neckband, and hemming

This class is tailored to meet students at various skill levels and there are opportunities for more advanced techniques to be introduced if time allows. Students will be able to work at their own pace and will have individualized instruction throughout.
