Sew Better, Sew Faster: Garment Industry Secrets

via Craftsy

Overview

Let Janet Pray teach you how to sew like a pro with garment industry techniques that have been adapted for home sewing equipment. Discover these insider methods as you construct a chic, sporty jacket from the “Jacket Express” pattern designed by Janet. Use an expedited construction order to build the jacket and develop professional pressing and finishing skills. Accomplish beautiful cuffs and collars without hand stitching, achieve accurate and even topstitching and learn when and where to use proper interfacing. Skip the basting and use few to no pins. No kidding. As Janet says, “If you like sewing now, you’re going to love sewing when you’re done with this class.” Important Pattern Information The sewing pattern on which this class is based —  Islander Sewing 218 — is not included with your purchase. You’ll find a coupon in the downloadable materials to purchase it from Islander Sewing.
