Knit Magic: Tina Style

If you've been wanting to gain confidence in sewing knits — or you're ready to finally make a tee you'll actually wear — this class is for you. Knit Magic: Tina Style is an easy-going (my style) technique rich workshop built aroundJalie's Tina Tee(plus the effortless optional dress add on), with my own tips, tweaks, and fit strategies knit in (lol). The TINA Essential Tee sewing pattern is a versatile base for modern tops in 34 sizes from kids to adults. With 3 sleeve styles and 4 neckline options, it lets you create tees suited to everyday wear, layering, or work. Designed for light or medium weight knit fabrics with at least 50% stretch. I'll take the mystery out of knit fabrics with actual fabric samples: how to choose them, the good, bad and nasty, how to handle them without stretching or twisting, and how to alter your pattern so that your tee (and/or dress) fits YOU beautifully through the shoulders, bust, and hips. Whether you're an adventurous beginner or a more experienced sewist looking to refine your knit skills, you'll learn the small adjustments and my smart shortcuts that make a classic tee look polished and feel great. By the end, you'll have a well fitting essential tee — or a dress, if you're feeling inspired — and the confidence to sew many more. It's practical, encouraging, and full of those satisfying 'ahhh, that's why it works' moments that make sewing feel like magic. AND, this pattern offers sew many options. My class is October 7th from 10 until 4 in my home. A few have already signed up, and there is comfortable space for a total of 6. For more info, please email me at yvettechilcott(at)yahoo(dot)ca.
