The Story
Virginia wants to share her deep love of the sweatsuit and working with sergers so we're offering this workshop to help you create your own Sweat Set. Hone your serger sewing skills to create the Sweet Pea sweats a personal VBJ favorite.
The pattern is only available as a pdf so make sure you order it and have it printed prior to class. We’ll focus on cutting out the entire set in our first session. In the next session we'll make our sweatshirt and by the final session we'll be focused on all the finishing.
Limited to 4 students (16 yrs of age or older); 2 students are required for class to meet. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment, you will receive a full refund.
- Level: Intermediate. You are way beyond pj pants and are comfortable using a sewing machine. You have plenty of handmade clothing you are proud of. You have taken serger basics or the equivalent.
- We provide: studio space, tools, machines, serger thread, and expertise.
- You bring: A copy of the patterns (you'll need the sweatshirt AND the sweatpants), fabric you love (not-too-stretchy knit are best - think fleece, French Terry), 1 1/2-2” (5 cm) elastic for waistband, 1/2-3/4” (2 cm) elastic for ankles (not needed if you are making shorts!), and a heavyweight knit with at least 20% stretch and high recover (a return to its original width after being stretched) or ribbing knit for waistband, neckband, and cuffs of sweatshirt. Don't forget we offer 15% off all class supplies.
- Class length: 2.5 hours each session for a total of 9.5
Sessions run Sunday, March 8, 15, 22, and 29 at 3 PM.
