Sew a Custom Fit Knit Top in a Day



In this 2 session class you will you will learn to make your test top (in the 1st session) then be custom fit by a Silhouette Patterns fitting instructor and sew up the final garment during the 2nd session.  Various sleeve options - long, short, or sleeveless.  Once you have the fit you can customize the details to make it your own; you can even make a cardigan!
