Undie Palooza!

What you will be doing:
Undies are one of our favorite sewing projects, and they make a great introduction to sewing with knit fabrics, because you only need about ½ of a yard and the stakes are very low if they turn out slightly wonky! You’ll learn a range of knit fabric and lingerie sewing techniques, including sewing picot and foldover elastic. We’ll be using the Median Knickers pattern from Sophie Hines, which look great and feel great on a range of body types and can be adjusted to comfily fit your unique body.
This class is scheduled all day, but we’ll plan on a one hour lunch break in the afternoon.
