ONLINE: Classic Shirt Construction with the Beth Galvin

Online Workshop Hours (PST):

January 11 - 27 (3 weeks, 9 hours)

Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6:00 - 7:30pm

Looking to build your skills and make new sewing friends? It's always more fun to sew together. This online class is part formal class instruction from our expert garment instructor, Beth Galvin, and part sewing social time sprinkled with helpful hints, tips, and (virtual) helping hands.

In January, join Beth for Adventures in Shirt Making! A shirt is the sum of its parts, and in this month's sessions, you will learn all about shirt construction. We will cover details such as collar, collar stand, placket, cuffs, button band and more. These are skills you can use on any shirt pattern! 

You will meet each Tuesday when Beth will introduce a new topic or skill that will be related to the project. Then meet up again on Thursdays for Social Sewing and one-on-one troubleshooting.
