Designer-inspired Knit Cardigan - A Design Class with Pamela Leggett

A fashionable cardigan jacket has been a wardrobe staple for decades and today is worn in settings from professional to dressy to weekend casual. Now you can make a designer jacket from a knit fabric, combining the style and versatility of a structured jacket with the comfort of a sweater. Pamela will show you how to adapt a basic T-shirt pattern to create a jacket that rivals costly examples by names like St. John, Escada, and Missoni. You’ll learn how to select a suitable knit fabric, which interfacings to use to support it, how to install a back half lining, how to finish the jacket edges, and how to enhance the garment with statement-making trims.

Get ready to get creative!  This cardigan will become a classic. This is a demonstration style class.  Each week Pamela will demonstrate techniques, talk through processes, answer questions, and set you up for success in your homework.  You will have the time in between classes to do the work.  For some of the class time you may be able to work along, so getting all of the supplies together ahead of time will give you a head start!

**Can't make it for these dates/times? If these dates don't work for you, we will be recording the session so you can watch on your own time.  Recordings will be available for one month.
