Shirt No. 1 from 100 Acts of Sewing is a great first garment pattern! We'll learn how to sew seams, finish hems, and apply bias tape to necklines. Students should be comfortable threading their machine and sewing straight lines.

Instructor: River Takada

Materials:

Shirt No. 1 pattern

Prewashed fabric for your size (light to midweight cotton, linen, or similar fabric with some drape)

1/2 yd fabric for bias binding or 1 yd premade bias tape

Thread to match

Fresh machine needle (80/12 or 70/10)

We have all basic sewing supplies in the classroom, but you may want to bring your own sewing kit (scissors, pins, seam ripper, marking tools) for convenience.
