Beginner Garment Sewing - Knits: With Catherine Petrosino
Afraid to venture into sewing your first knit garment? No need to worry when you have someone to guide you through the process! We?ve picked two different top patterns that can be made in knit, one fitted style (K3766) and the other is a loose fitting top (V8877), so that you can choose which you would prefer to make. Either garment can be made using a regular sewing machine or a serger (see my recommendations in details listed below), so both techniques will be covered in class. Hems can be made on either a coverstitch machine (if you have one or that option on your serger) or a regular sewing machine. In class you will learn how to choose the correct pattern size, cut out your pattern and fabric, and then learn the techniques for sewing knits on your garment. The class is 4 1/2 hours long and class size is limited to 4 students. If you have any questions about the class, please email Catherine at brooklynstitchery@gmail.com.

Quilted Jacket For Intermediate and Advanced Sewers with Catherine Petrosino
The quilted jacket is all the rage right now, but choosing the right pattern to make one can be difficult. Catherine has taken the guesswork out of that and designed her own reversible version in a scrappy quilt look. The jacket is a one-size-fits-most, loose fitting, boxy style that can be made with minor fit adjustments. The quilt top (or outer layer) uses only one "layer cake" bundle to eliminate the need to coordinate your fabrics. Jacket dimensions: 29" long from High Point of Shoulder (HPS) 59" across from sleeve edge to sleeve edge 41" across at bottom edge from side seam to side seam
