Overlocker Workshop: T-shirt / Jumper or Knickers

Make a pair of undies or a t-shirt in your favourite style that fit like a dream!



3 hours

Class size 1 to 8 (public classes), 6 to 10
  $130 (Afterpay available)

Looking to take your sewing skills to the next level? Join us and learn how to make a pair of your own undies or a t-shirt.
Super simple and quick to construct on an overlocker, undies are the perfect introduction to stretch fabrics for both the beginner and experienced sewist. T-shirts are the perfect learning opportunity for those wanting to finesse their ribbing bands and twin-needle hems.
With gender and size expansive patterns from Zoë, you will learn how to customise them to suit diverse bodies and styles. Non gender-confirming and male identifying folks are encouraged to attend!
Choose from a knicker or boyleg style pattern as your basic shape. Both provide good coverage over the bottom and feature soft bands that make for the comfiest fit. The line can be cut away to your liking to create something cheeky, or else why not try the boyleg as a hipster or with a high waist. It’s up to you!

Learn to sew and mend with knowledgeable, patient teachers in a friendly, inclusive environment. All ages, genders and abilities welcome!
At SOSU, we believe that sewing is a wonderful life skill, and we want to share it with you. Learning how to alter and mend the things that you have as well as learning the skills to create your own gorgeous garments will help you to be more creative and sustainable. We offer a wide range of full and half-day workshops or ongoing courses that will build, refresh or consolidate your sewing skills. We have a great mix of beginner and skilled sewists of all ages learning at our school.
We can also arrange private lessons for those that learn better one-on-one. When it’s just you and your teacher you can really tackle that special project with confidence.
Our back story: The School of Sewing & Upcycling was established in 2015. Set up in a small shop in Buckley Street, Footscray, where Gaye (the original owner) and her team shared their love of sewing with aspiring and experienced sewists alike.
In February 2023, Zoë took over the business from Gaye (who still teaches) and in May 2023 SOSU moved into their current home in Whitehall Street, Footscray.
Zoë and her team of friendly and skilled teachers look forward to welcoming you (or your ClassBento gift recipients) into their space to unlock creativity, develop sustainable habits, and master skills that will last a lifetime!
