Level 2 Skills: Rivets, Metal Zippers, Heavy Weight Topstitching
Creating your first pair of jeans gives you freedom to create a custom fit with a variety of options to create a unique style.
In this class, we will be focusing on three garment sewing construction techniques:
- Working with rivets
- Using metal zippers
- Working with heavy weight topstitching
You will also be using special tools for insertion of rivets which will be provided in the classroom for shared use. The pattern selected for this class is designed to fit men waist sizes 26" - 42" and women waist sizes 26" - 40".
PLEASE NOTE: Not all sewing machines are able to handle heavyweight fabrics! If you do not own a sewing machine or need a stronger machine for this project, we have the Baby Lock Presto II sewing machine available for use.
PLEASE NOTE: Independent work outside of the classroom is a core part of Level 2 classes. If you are unable to complete construction tasks before each session, you will fall behind on hands-on construction. There are no make-up or refunds on missed sessions.
