The Noble Tee- Beginner Friendly!

About this experience

Raise up the humble tshirt to its’ rightful place as a core wardrobe staple, and honour the work that goes into its’ production by learning to make your own. With only a simple domestic sewing machine, you can make a shirt that will last years.

Pattern is included in the price of the class and will be waiting for you at your first day!

This 6 hour class is broken into logical chunks, and you'll see just how fast it can be to make your own clothes once you learn the basics and the trouble shooting. Your first Tshirt may take 6 hours, but in no time you'll be making them for yourself in an hour or two!

-sewists who like to take a little extra time may need to complete homework between classes to ensure completion!

-Prerequisite: some knowledge of the sewing machine; Get To Know the Sewing Machine or Foundations are good starting points. If you sign up without knowledge of threading the machines, I will just thread them for you with a quick demo, as we won't have time to go in depth in other topics! 

You may just never want to buy a t-shirt again! This class includes a Spool favourite, the Classic Woodley Tee by Thread Theory Designs. It comes in a women's fit, or men's fit, and you are welcome to make it for yourself or a loved one (if you are making it for someone else, please bring one of their favourite tees to help us in sizing!)

Skills Developed:

• Class 1: Understanding Size Charts, Measurements and blending/adjusting sizes 


• Fabric Choices and how to cut fabric (students who opt to buy fabric elsewhere should have it at the first class, or be ready to cut it out at home before the next class!


• Options for construction stitches, manipulating knit fabric and machine settings


• Finishing/hemming, sewing sleeves and neckbands


• Introduction to our sergers and coverstitch machines to try them out!

As always, the class will be a wealth of tips and joyful learning!

Also note: This truly is a learning journey, with a teacher guiding each of you towards your sewing goals. It's a small group class, and people work at their own pace. Students who prefer to take a little more time, or who miss a class may need to work on homework between classes, or book in for Open Sew time. We have Supported Open Sew on a regular schedule, as well as non-instructional Sewcials and Your Studio time that can be booked if you don't have a sewing machine at home. We do our best to encourage and support you in finishing your project, but make no guarantee of completion if students miss classes or need extra time. We cannot guarantee available make up classes. We are all individuals in learning style!
