Dune Briefs Virtual Workshop

$100.00

Join me for a brief Briefs workshop! We will make just the Dune Briefs from my pattern (not the tank) in this quick class! The Dune Briefs are a classic high-waisted brief, that can be worn as actual underwear, as pajamas, or as loungewear. Because they are elastic-free, they are comfy & cozy for any time of day!

In this workshop, we will pick a size, make any alterations you want for fit or personal preferences, cut everything out, & then sew them together! There will be no prep class, & no advance homework is required. Join us!

This is a 1-part class, with 3 hours of class time.

WORKSHOP DATES:

  • Sunday, May 31, from 1-4pm Eastern - Class 1

SUPPLY LIST:

TOOL LIST:

  • Sewing machine with stretch stitch options, or with a zigzag stitch. A serger can also be used for sewing seams. To do the binding, everyone will need a stretch stitch option on a regular machine.

  • Iron & ironing board

  • Sewing needle for your fabric weight & type - an 80 jersey ballpoint needle is ideal

  • Full sized scissors & small scissors for trimming (highly recommended)

  • Seam gauge or small ruler

  • Water soluble marking tool

  • Clear ruler, at least 2” x 18” (for putting your pattern pieces on grain during cutting)

  • Flexible tape measure

  • If you plan to make pattern alterations, tape, extra paper, & a fine point pencil is recommended

  • For cutting, knits are far easier to cut with a rotary cutter & mat, so if you have that option, bring it to class!

Please note: tools & supplies are sold separately & are not included in the class fee

SKILL LEVEL:

  • Advanced beginner: This is a great second knit project. If you’ve made a basic knit project or two in the past & are ready to take on an advanced beginner knit project, this is perfect! Note: this is not a “learn to sew” workshop.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

  • Using a serger & a regular home sewing machine to sew seams with knits

  • Topstitching knits

  • Binding knit fabrics

  • Using a commercial sewing pattern

  • Reading & understanding commercial sewing pattern instructions

  • Taking your measurements

  • Making pattern alterations like shortening, lengthening, reshaping leg openings, & blending between sizes

VIRTUAL WORKSHOP DETAILS:

  • Workshops are taught by me, Christine Haynes, live from my home studio

  • Attendance is limited to ensure personal one-on-one attention

  • Workshops are led virtually through Zoom, a free video conferencing software that can be downloaded here

  • Students will need access to a computer, smart phone, or tablet with internet access to participate in the workshop (note: the bigger your screen, the easier it is to see the action!)

  • I teach using two cameras, so you can always see a close up of each step being taught, as well as have face to face interaction

  • A Zoom link & password will be emailed a day ahead of the first class session to the email address used in checkout, so be sure to type your email correctly upon checkout

  • Workshop sessions will be recorded so students that get behind, or need to miss a session, can rewatch the previous lesson & catch up

  • The focus of my workshops are on construction & technique. Fit is discussed, but due to the nature of Zoom workshops, fitting instruction is limited

Return Policy: Please note that there are no returns or refunds on workshops. The number of students is limited to ensure a good learning experience for each student, so when you reserve your spot, that is held for you, whether you attend or not. If you cannot attend the classes live during their scheduled time, students will still be able to learn by following along with the workshop recordings. Thank you for understanding!
