Another really helpful sewing course. I learned so much about working with stretch fabrics by making my T-shirt, for example how to stitch round corners with an overlocker.

I really enjoyed this class,learned how to cut and sew a stretch jersey fabric with an overlock machine. Jen gave us a lot of useful information about sewing stretch fabric. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the allocated time was too short. I have finished the t-shirt and am very pleased with the results.

excellent course. so much support and patience from the teacher. everyone can go at their own pace. No question is too much trouble. Probably helps to have the basics about threading machine and tried other basic project before (in terms of finishing within the time). Everything provided so you just turn up with nothing and go home with a new top! well, I had one sleeve and hems left to sew up but felt well equipped to finish at home. You can also choose to go sleeveless! Now considering embroidery course to decorate it...
