In this class, students learn how to take body measurements, draft a pattern, cut, and construct their own camp shirt.
Students will gain knowledge on patternmaking, installing a shirt collar, making buttonholes, and will walk away with a new and fun finished garment made for their own body!

Supply List:
- 1 3/4- 2yds light to mid-weight woven fabric
- 1 spool of Mettler Metrosene All-Purpose Polyester Thread (coordinating or color matching with fabric is recommended)
- 3/8yd Fusible Interfacing
- Five 1/2" buttons
*Make sure to pre-wash your fabric in advance of class. This prevents possible fabric shrinkage that could otherwise make your finished garment too small.
*Skill Level: Advanced Beginner - You have a good handle on the basics and are ready to dip your toe into more challenging waters. You’re still fairly new to sewing from patterns and could use help with how to manipulate the pattern to get a better fit. You want to add some new skills to your repertoire (invisible zippers, setting-in sleeves, sewing with a serger, etc.). Classes generally require homework.
