Overlocker Next Steps and Sew a pair of Leggings

Description

Overlockers are great for sewing stretch fabrics and neatening seams, but did you know they can do so much more? Stitching Kitchen's next steps overlocker workshop leads on from 'Learn to love your overlocker'. To be successful you must already be confident in threading your overlocker and adjustinging tensions to achieve a good finish. 

So if you are comfortable using your overlocker but want to find out how to use it to its full potential - this is the workshop for you.

In the second half of this workshop we will put your overlocking skills to the test with a chance to make your own leggings using the Stella leggings by Jalie

What you will learn/achieve

During the session we will cover:

What's included

Tuition: full instruction and support in a small class.

A printed copy of the Stella Leggings pattern by Jalie worth £20.55

Basic sewing kit to use during the workshop.

Tea and cake.

What to bring

Ideally you will have your own overlocker to bring to the workshop.

If you are yet to invest in an overlocker and would like to use Stitching KItchen’s Pfaff Admire 1000 or Janome MyLock 454 demonstration models, please let us know when you book. 

Feel free to bring any old t-shirts or other scrap jersey to practise on.

You will also need 1.5m of 4 way stretch cotton lycra or simlar stretch knit fabric it must have 50% stretch and good recovery. We will have kits available in the run up to this workshop.

Please note that this workshop is held in our light and spacious first floor studio at Stitching Kitchen, which is accessible by stairs.
