Today is Day 1 of our Create Your Own T-Shirt Challenge and I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with! Go to the calendar tab to see what time it is in your time zone and join.
The goal of this challenge isn't just to make a t-shirt...
It's to help you learn how to think through the design process so you can create garments that fit YOU, use your preferred yarn, and don't waste time or materials.
๐ Who Is This For?
This challenge is perfect for members who are comfortable using their knitting machine and are ready to take the next step.
๐ Beginner-friendly for those who know the basics of their machine
๐ Suitable for both Addi and Sentro users
๐ Can be completed using either panel mode or tube mode
You do not need previous design experience to participate.
๐งถ Today's Class
We'll be covering:
โจ Design ideas and inspiration
โจ What measurements you need to take
โจ How to determine your yarn gauge
โจ How to use that information to create a custom pattern
By the end of today's class, you'll have the information needed to start creating a t-shirt designed specifically for you.
๐ What You'll Need
Please bring:
โ๏ธ Pencil
๐งฝ Eraser
๐งฎ Calculator
And of course your creativity! ๐
๐ Tomorrow's Class
Tomorrow we'll:
โจ Review everyone's patterns
โจ Check numbers and measurements
โจ Make adjustments if needed
โจ Start working on our t-shirts
This is where we'll make sure your pattern is set up for success before you start investing a lot of yarn and time.
๐ Why This Challenge Matters
Learning to adjust and create patterns for yourself is one of the biggest skills you can develop as a maker.
Instead of hoping a pattern fits...
You'll learn how to make informed decisions that lead to garments you'll actually want to wear.
And once you understand the process, you'll be able to use these same skills to adjust and design many other garments in the future.
