Stretch Essentials - Jarrah Sweatshirt

It's that time of year - learning new skills to make cosy stretchy jumpers! Its easier than you think! 

Learn all the essentials in this 6 hour workshop, and walk away with a super cosy sweatshirt, the Jarrah by Megan Nielsen. 

Stretch sewing is all about tension, needles and the right stitch.  We'll look at those first to understand the theory. 

Then we'll get cracking and cut out our cosy jumper (see LOADS of examples here).  We'll focus on seam allowances when we sew it up along with perfecting those ribbed necklines.  

Once you have these skills mastered, you can take on any stretch project with confidence and ease!
