Class Sweatshirt Chic: Mastering the Serger via the Simpson Top

Thursday March 21 and 28, 10am - 2pm

Unleash the full potential of your serger as we guide you through the creation of the Simpson Top from Style Arc. Perfect for those eager to explore serger techniques, this class will cover the art of the flatlock stitch, the precision of the cover stitch, and more. Designed for serger enthusiasts, this workshop combines the allure of the Simpson's unique design lines with the excitement of creating a stunning top. Whether you're new to serging or looking to expand your repertoire of techniques, join us for a hands-on experience where you'll transform your serger into a powerful tool for crafting a professional and distinctive garment.

We have the pattern and fabric you need in-store. Fabric must be pre-washed.
