Sew Your Own: Joggers with Ann Tilley IN PERSON

  • Freeman's Creative LLC 2020 Chapel Hill Road #25 Durham, NC, 27707 United States (map)

Sew your own cozy joggers with an original gender-neutral pattern from Ann Tilley! We'll cover basic skills for sewing with knits, inserting an elastic waistband, finishing knits with cuffs and welt pockets, and introduce sewing knits with a serger. Students should have some experience sewing garments from a pattern, but do not need serger experience.

Instructor: Ann Tilley

Materials:

-Pattern is included as an add-on; please pick up and cut your size prior to class. We will let students know as soon as we have your physical pattern at the shop. This pattern is currently drafted for a hip size of 34-52" and has a roomy fit. Ann will work with students on fit adjustments and expanded sizing.

- 1.5 yards (60"wide) sweatpant fabric or 2.5 yards for narrower fabric. (French terry, fleece, fleeceback jersey, etc)

- thread to match

- 1/2 yard cotton knit fabric for the pocket bags (options will be provided, or bring your own)

- 1/4 yard ribbed knit for the cuffs + pocket welt detail (options will be provided, or bring your own)

- 2" waistband elastic (provided)

-Fresh jersey, stretch, or ballpoint needle

Machines:

-We will be using both a serger and a standard sewing machine for this class. Please bring your standard machine (or rent one of ours) and your serger if you have one. We will have sergers to share for those who don't have one. You do not need previous experience with a serger for this class.
