Discover the world of sewing with knit fabrics in our 8-week Learn to Sew Knits course at Chenko Studios! Start by making a classic t-shirt while learning the fundamentals of working with stretch fabrics, from fabric selection and cutting to professional construction techniques.
A key part of this course is learning to use a serger (overlocker). You'll gain hands-on experience creating durable, stretchy seams and polished finishes that give handmade garments a professional touch.
After your t-shirt, you'll choose your next project from our curated project catalogue, building your skills and confidence with every stitch.
