Kids Garment Sewing – Knit T-Shirt & Shorts (Fall 2026)

For students who have successfully completed our Intermediate 2 Sewing Semester.
Exceptions may be made for students with equivalent sewing experience. Please contact Mrs. G before registering.

Semester Dates: Begins the week of August 24, 2026 and concludes the last week of November 2026.

A minimum of 6 students is required for each class. If enrollment is too low, the class may be canceled.

What Students Will Learn

Garment Sewing is designed for students who are ready to move beyond project sewing and begin creating clothing they can confidently wear.

Throughout the semester, students will learn essential garment construction skills, including:

• Taking accurate body measurements
• Choosing the correct pattern size
• Reading and understanding commercial sewing patterns
• Laying out and cutting knit fabric
• Sewing with stretch (knit) fabrics
• Constructing knit garments with a professional finish
• Building confidence and independence in garment sewing

Students work at their own pace while creating wearable garments they'll be proud to show off. Students will also keep their sewing patterns so they can recreate these projects at home.

Planned Projects

Projects are subject to change based on class progress and material availability.

• Knit T-shirt (optional pocket)
• Knit shorts

Bonus Project (time permitting):

• Third knit project (to be determined)

Every child learns at a different pace, so while we strive to complete every planned project, we cannot guarantee every student will finish all projects.

Class Schedule

• 1 class per week
• 10 weekly classes
• Each class is 1½ hours

One makeup class is held after the semester ends only for students who missed a class and have unfinished work. We are unable to offer additional makeup classes beyond the scheduled makeup week.

If your child is feeling ill or showing any symptoms of illness, please keep them home. The included makeup class at the end of the semester allows eligible students to make up missed work while helping keep everyone healthy.

• All fabric and project supplies
