In this workshop we cover all the dos-and-don'ts when it comes to sewing with knits, as well as tips on cutting, sewing, and hemming on a domestic machine. By the end of our two session workshop, participants will leave with a cleanly finished t-shirt and confidence and techniques to tackle future knit garments!
