Taught by Rae Hoekstra
Known for her carefully crafted sewing patterns that stitch up into dressy-casual garments, Rae Hoekstra of the Made By Rae pattern line brings us a gorgeous sewing class based on her Isla pattern. This playful design for knit fabrics works just as easily as a top as it does a mid-length dress, and both variations feature simply shaped cap sleeves. Rae shares special techniques that make working with knits a breeze, such as using knit clips and shirring with elastic thread.
What you’ll get:
Learn how to:
- Use elastic and shirring to make gathers
- Sew with knits without a serger
- Work with jersey
- Shorten or lengthen a bodice
What you’ll get:
- Step-by-step expert instruction on sewing a customizable dress and top out of knit fabric.
- 6 HD video lessons you can access online anytime, anywhere
- Detailed supplies list
- Step-by-step expert instruction from patternmaker, Rae Hoekstra
- The ability to leave comments, ask questions, and interact with other students
