Paws and Threads - Pet Shirt Making

In this 2 week class we will be creating a fun raglan tee for your furry friend! This class is for sewists who have already been sewing with woven fabrics and are looking for a fun, functional small project to start them on the knit/stretch fabric journey! 

In this class we will be focusing on learning the basics of working with stretch fabric on a small scale so this project is low stakes and low stress while learning a new skill. This is a good opportunity to use up any scrap knit fabric you may have at home. 

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

Skill requirements:

Some prior sewing knowledge is required, knowing how to thread your machine and having become comfortable with sewing woven/non-stretch fabric is highly recommended. Those who haven’t sewn in a while may or may not be comfortable with taking this class.

• New sewing vocabulary
