The colder weather is here, which mean it's the perfect time to embrace comfy clothing. Meet your new obsession - the Drew Sweatshirt by Tilly and the Buttons. Pattern includes sizes 2 through 30.
Drew is an oversized crewneck, featuring deep raglan sleeves sinched in at the hem and cuffs. Students may choose from a hip-length or cropped hemline. Keep it simple with one fabric, or let your creativity shine by sewing it up in a playful colorblock style.
In this class, students will learn how to install raglan sleeves, make cuffs, and attach a ribbed neckband. Students will use a serger in this class. This class is suitable for advanced beginner to intermediate level students who have taken our Garment 101 class or have an equivalent experience level. Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.
