Stretch Essentials - Basic T-Shirt

Intermediate

Learn to sew a super basic T-shirt

Sew your perfect everyday tee

A great t-shirt is a wardrobe staple — and once you make one that fits you properly, you’ll want to make it again and again.

Join Jenny for this hands-on workshop where you’ll sew your own Classic Tee using the Wardrobe By Me Classic T-Shirt pattern. This class is all about building confidence sewing with stretch fabrics while creating a garment you’ll actually wear.

You’ll learn the techniques needed to sew knit fabrics successfully and walk away with the skills to keep making tees at home.
