Magic Pattern: Blouse/Tank Top Annie McCall [email protected] Category: Garment Skill Level: Beginner and Intermediate
PREREQUISITE: (If any): working knowledge of most of your machine’s capabilities; can insert a zipper.
STUDENTS: PLEASE PURCHASE SUPPLIES EARLY! ITEMS LISTED FOR CLASS ARE REQUIRED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
Class Description: From the Magic Pattern book by Amy Barickman, you will create a tank top using one of the six patterns in the “Tank Top” chapter that you like the best (Chapter 2, p37). Select from Alice, Avery, Adelaide, or Alma tank tops; or choose the Abigail or Anne tank dress.
Supplies Required:
Printout of your pattern. The CD in the book has each pattern in PDF format; you will print, cut (with regular paper scissors, not your fabric scissors!), and tape all the pages together, matching up the labeled diamonds—there are further instructions and diagrams in the beginning of the book for what to do. Then cut out your pattern pieces for your size (page 20 has sizing info) and roll them up or fold them for transport. Blouse fabric (pre-washed, dried, and ironed): each pattern suggests the recommendations for the type of fabric you should use and how much to get; refer to the pattern’s intro page in the book. Zipper, elastic, hook/eye, bias tape, or any other notion that your particular pattern requires. Refer to the pattern intro page. Thread to match fabric (and bias tape, if using) Office supplies: scotch tape, paper scissors, ruler, pencil
In Addition to Class Supplies, Please bring Basic Sewing Supplies:

Spray stabilizer if using a fabric that is “slippery” and hard to sew Any other items you commonly use (Please call us with questions)
