Make + Hack



Don't you love a good hack? We sure do!

"Hacking" means making modifications to an existing pattern to transform it into something new! This is a useful skill for all you sewists out there!

Here's how the Make + Hack is going to work:

You choose which pattern you would like to make, either the Sorbetto Tank or the Hansie Top, both by Seamwork. They are free PDF patterns, so you will need to print out and assemble your pattern before the first class. When you sign up, we'll send you a video on how to do this!

In the first class, we'll cut out your pattern in your size and make it! We'll also talk about ways you might want to "hack" it for the next day, like elongating the top to make a shift dress, or crop it and add a gathered panel to make a midi. In the second class, we'll modify your pattern and make a "hacked" version!


Materials needed:
- Printed and assembled pattern of your choice
- Required fabric for both the original top and the hacked top. These can be the same fabric or different! We recommend either cotton lawnrayon/linen blend or rayon.
- Matching thread
- Either Easy Pattern by Pellon or a roll of tracing paper

Tools needed:
-Sewing machine*
-Sharp scissors
-Pins and/or Wonder Clips

We will provide irons, ironing surfaces, and cutting tables. 


*We have sewing machines available to borrow for an additional cost of $20 and they must be booked in advance.
Please add the loaner machine to your order
