Get to Know Your Overlocker and Make a T-shirt
It's time to dust off that overlocker that has been sitting on a shelf
and actually learn how to use it!
Spend the day learning how to operate your overlocker – threading it up,
using the various stitches available, and troubleshooting any problems.
Once you've mastered the basics, you will make a simple t-shirt from
jersey fabric using your overlocker.
You should come away from the course with an understanding of how your
overlocker works and how to remedy problems. You will also have a
collection of fabric samples using different overlocker techniques, as
well as a sewn t-shirt.
This workshop is suitable for beginners, as long as you have some basic
sewing experience.
A light lunch, refreshments, the T-shirt pattern and some materials are
included, but please bring your overlocker. For the T-shirt you can
bring along your own choice of fabric or the tutor can supply white
jersey fabric for an extra fee.
