Virtual Workshop: Sew a Tabor V-Neck

Learn to sew a classic v-neck t-shirt in this virtual workshop led by Christine Haynes! 

In this three-evening workshop, you'll make a Sew House Seven Tabor V-Neck. The Tabor V-Neck is a simple yet versatile style that is as dressed up or casual as you’d like to make it. It is a loose fitting, drop shoulder tee or sweater that is built for comfort while looking smart. With many different options for sleeves, necklines and body lengths, you can make a Tabor V-neck for every season.

In this workshop, students can choose to make tee version #1, #2, or #3 (we will not be covering the sweater versions). 

You'll learn how to:

• Measure the body accurately to create a perfect fit
• Work from a commercial pattern, including size selection, deciphering instructions, cutting from paper pattern pieces, and more
• Understand best practices for sewing stretchy knits 
• Sew either a mitered or lapped v-neck
• Sew a curved or straight hem
• Sew narrow sleeves long sleeves, banded short sleeves to roll up, or go sleeveless!

This is a three-evening workshop being held on the following dates:

• Thursday 11/4 at 6:30pm-7:30pm EST - The instructor will demo how to properly print and assemble the PDF pattern, plus how to cut the fabric. Students are to complete these steps at their own pace between the first and second session.
