Sometimes all you want is a simple knit top without having to deal with separate sleeve pieces. Learn to make a relaxed tee with grown on sleeves and how adding binding and/or facings to a knit garment affects its ability to stretch. In class we will go over determining your size when using low stretch knit fabrics, how stretchy your stitches truly need to be and easy ways to hem knits.
The Max tee is a boxy knit top with a muscle tee shoulder shape and a dropped armhole. Choose between a cropped or hip length finished with hem facings. You have multiple neckline options that include a neck facing, rib neckband and a mock neckband.
The Square Neck Top is a boxy dolman sleeved top with a square neckline. It is slightly cropped and includes front pieces for both A/B and C/D cup sizes.
Simplicity S9314 is a simple men’s knit top with a slight drop sleeve and a relaxed fit.
The Lodo is an elevated take on a basic t-shirt dress. It has a straight fit through the waist and hips and a slightly tapered hen to create a subtle cocoon shape. It has a V neck at the center front and an extended cap sleeve. Both the neckline and armholes are finished with a woven facing for stability and structure. Make it as a mid-calf or above the knee length dress or shorten it into a casual top.
