garment series: max tee

Knit, knit, hooray!  Join us in the studio this August to make the Max Knit Tee by Chalk and Notch.

Your favorite, most comfy tees, leggings, and hoodies are all made with knits... wouldn't you love to be able to make these cozy garments for your own wardrobe?!  If sewing with stretchy fabric intimidates you, don't worry - our garment sewing pro Erin will teach you everything you need to know to be successful at making knit garments

The Max Tee is a relaxed, boxy knit top with a muscle tee shoulder shape and a dropped armhole.  The pattern accommodates Sizes 0-30 with two bust cup options and offers three views with two length options.  Students will have the option of making view B (with neckband) or View C (with mock turtleneck band). 

During this 3-week class, students will learn how to sew a neckband, make armhole facings, and how to work with knit fabrics. This class is suitable for advanced beginner to intermediate level students who have prior experience working with knit fabrics.  This is a great "next step" for graduates of our Intro to Knits class!
