Description
People can often be put off from sewing shirts as the techniques involved can feel daunting. Don’t be scared of shirt making any longer – our masterclass will teach you all the skills and techniques you need to know!
This class covers the key elements of sewing a shirt including collars, button plackets, sleeves and cuffs. As this class focuses on the key elements of shirt making, you probably won’t complete a whole shirt in the class, however you will complete the all techniques you need to be able to finish the rest at home.
The class uses the popular Closet Case Kalle Shirt pattern, with a loose, body skimming silhouette and a number of interchangeable features, the Kalle Shirt & Shirtdress is the ultimate in chic, easy dressing.
View A is cropped with a wide faced hem, View B is a tunic length shirt inspired by classic men’s oxfords, and View C is a stylish shirtdress with a high-low hem. All versions feature a subtly curved yoke, kimono sleeves with arm cuffs, and a dramatically shaped hem. If View A is more cropped than you’d prefer, it’s very simple to lengthen.
Our sewing classes are relaxed and friendly, taking place at our beautiful studio at Holme Grange Craft Village in Wokingham, Berkshire.
