Class Date: Saturday, September 26 - 10am-4pm

Want to learn how to sew with knits? Our Intro to Knits series is perfect for those who live in jersey tees but don't know where to start when it comes to sewing with knits.  Knits have a reputation for being more difficult to sew with but with the guidance of our garment instructor, Erin, you will gain a bunch of new skills that will make sewing with knits a breeze!

During this 6-hour class, students will be making the Waterfall Raglan by Chalk & Notch.  The Waterfall Raglan is a stylish alternative to a t-shirt and features a relaxed, swing shape. The sleeve has a slim fit with three length options: short, 3/4, and long sleeve. (Please Note: we will be using View A in class). We suggest using light to medium weight knit fabric for this top.

Skills that you will learn in this class:

  • hot to cut out knit fabrics
  • how to use an overlocker
  • how to hem your knit garment
  • how to sew knit fabrics on a standard sewing machine and choosing the correct

This class is perfect for sewists who have completed our Garment 101 or those who have an equivalent skill level. We recommend that you have made a few garments using woven fabrics already and are not totally new to garment sewing.

Please Note: This course is designed with enough work time that you should be able to finish the garments but there may be homework to finish within the course time frames.

Required Materials:

PDF Pattern Note:

  • Students must purchase and download the PDF pattern from Chalk & Notch's website. Students are responsible for printing out the instructions for the pattern and bringing it to class with them.  We will have the patterns printed on wide-format paper for all students on the day of class.

Recommended Fabric + Important Notes:

  • We suggest using Solid Jersey Knits for this garment class.
  • Knit fabric MUST be purchased from our shop to ensure it is appropriate to use in this class. Our staff is more than happy to help you with your selections!
  • As with all garment classes, we recommend students PRE-WASH and dry their fabric prior to the beginning of class to prevent any further fabric shrinkage.
