Learn to use a serger – or use a serger more confidently – in this “for Rookies” workshop. You’ll make a fun knit cardigan in the process, as you learn about basic serger functions, how to start and end seams, working with knits on a serger and construction tips including how to invisibly hem with a flatlock stitch and the blind hem foot. The project is the Cocoon Cardigan made from a downloadable pattern from Patterns 4 Pirates, which can be made either tunic length or as a short bolero style jacket using medium weight sweater knits. Bring your own fabric, see supply list and advance prep for details.

    This is a downloadable pattern which you will have to put together. It is possible to print only the size you need. For more information on this check out the video on Deb's website https://debcanhamstudio.com/tutorials Look for Tutorials - Printing Out Patterns.

    Cut out the two fronts and back. Also remember to cut out the bands. These go around the whole edge of the jacket (2 fronts and a back band) and can be used on the sleeves too.
