Supplies available at the ABQ Sewing Studio

You’ve perfected your t-shirt fit and now you want to really make it your own – perhaps by turning it into a dress or tunic, or by adding an interesting neckline finish.  In this class, you’re the designer.

For the class you will need:

• Pamela’s Patterns Perfect T-shirt
• A roll of thin vellum paper to draft your pattern changes
• Fabric as per pattern or more, depending on what you plan to make*
• Polyester thread to match your fabric
• Stretch needle 75/11 for your sewing machine
• Stretch twin needle for your sewing machine to do hems – if you’re not sure which width to buy, wait until class and we’ll select the appropriate width for your fabric
• Sewing kit**
• Sewing machine in good working order

*Fabric should be pretreated (washed and dried in the manner that you will be treating the finished garment)

N.B.  Please wear a camisole or some other close-fitting garment to class – fitting a t-shirt over bulky clothing just doesn’t work.

N.B. The t-shirt pattern can be stitched up entirely on the sewing machine.  We ask that you bring your sewing machine, as well as your serger (if you have one).

**Sewing kit

• Good quality pins (longer ones with glass heads are the easiest to handle) in a container that allows for easy access or in a pincushion
• Sharp cutting shears
• Small scissors or snips for thread
• Measuring tape
• Sewing gauge or small ruler
• Hand-sewing needles
• Marking pencils or chalk that will work with the fabric you are using for your class project
• Seam ripper
