Create the perfect T-shirt-the one that actually fits you.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll sew a custom-tailored T-shirt from start to finish. No more guessing sizes or settling for “close enough”-you’ll learn how to shape a garment to your exact body and style. By the end of class, you won’t just understand the process-you’ll walk out wearing a T-shirt you made yourself.
We’ll guide you through every step, from taking accurate measurements to drafting your own pattern, cutting fabric, and sewing it all together with professional techniques. Whether you’re new to sewing or ready to level up your skills, this class is designed to make the process approachable, creative, and rewarding.
