Your overlocker can do so much more than just finish seams 🧵✨
If you already know the basics and you’re ready to build confidence and explore what your overlocker is really capable of, this Developing Your Overlocker Skills class is such a brilliant next step. We start by refreshing what you already know, then move on to learning new techniques that really open things up.
You’ll play with flatlocking, lettuce hems and gathering, then put those skills straight into practice by sewing a Bedrock Tee by Sew Liberated. It’s such a satisfying way to see how these techniques work in a real, wearable garment ✂️💛
It’s a relaxed, supportive day in the studio, perfect if you want to feel more fluent with your overlocker and start using it creatively, not just practically.
