Teacher: Sophie Parslow

Description: Are you ready to get your stretch on? Conquer knit fabric once and for all and give new life to old shirts as you create your own bespoke, vintage inspired children's tee. With Sophie, seasoned re-fashionista, by your side, be guided step-by-step through the modern and easy-to-make Banyan T-shirt by Figgy's patterns.  Then customize your tee with authentic vintage ephemera with an easy to use transfer method. Forget you ever feared things that stretch, in this fun-packed workshop and be inspired by the exciting possibilities of DIY re-fashion!

Takeaway: A complete lack of fear when it comes to sewing with knit fabrics and an awesome child's t-shirt.
