NEW! Summer Sessions: Overlocker-Make your own Swim Set – Sunday 19th January 10am – 4pm
$185.00
Come along to our newest class, and extend those overlocker skills even FURTHER!
Together we will size you up and mix and match rashie shirt and bottoms options to make you the swimming set of your dreams! Long sleeve, short sleeve, boyleg or knicker style. Everyone welcome!
We’ll us a mix of sewing machines and overlockers to get a professional finish – we’ll provide the patterns, and you just need to come with your fabric!
Your patterns are included in the workshop price and is size expansive.
What you will need:
– four-way stretch fabric suitable for swimwear (chlorine-resistant Lycras are not a given – make sure you get swimwear-approved lycra if you are wanting to swim in chlorinated pools)
– four spools of cotton to match your fabric (we sell a few basic colours if you’re stuck)
We have swimwear elastic on hand but if you think you’d like a wide elastic waistband in your swim bottoms then make sure to bring some along just in case.
The majority of this project will be completed on the overlocker, so feel free to bring along your own if you are able. We also have some overlockers for you to use if need be, and we will provide sewing machines to finish off when required – no need to bring along two machines!
Please note: An intermediate level of overlocking skills will be required to tackle this project. If you are new to your overlocker, please enrol in our Overlocker Basics workshop running on Saturday morning November 23rd to learn the basics. For further practice, we also recommend our Make a Tee Shirt on your Overlocker workshop running on the afternoon of the same day.
