What You’ll Learn
- Design the shirt of your dreams and take your sewing skills to the next level! .
- Fashion designer, sewist, and content creator Priscillia Okpan has always had a passion for beautifully made clothing. Not knowing if she could take her hobby full-time, Priscilla studied microbiology before later deciding to study fashion design. After receiving her degree in fashion and working for a few established fashion brands in London, Priscilla launched a fashion-based YouTube channel that now has more than 430K subscribers and 26 million views. Today, Priscilla splits her time between her YouTube channel and running her ready-to-wear brand, Kim Dave, which is inspired by memories and cultures of her tribe, the Urhobo tribe in Nigeria..
- While Priscilla has always had a knack for helping other hobbyists and aspiring full-time sewists grow their sewing skills, this is Priscilla’s first-ever class teaching how to make a custom shirt. If you’re looking to launch your own brand one day or you just want to add a custom garment to your closet, Priscilla will help give you a solid grasp on the skills you need to make made-to-fit clothing. .

- Plus, you can download Priscillia’s pattern and get sewing right away if you don’t want to make your own paper pattern. .
- Whether you’re just looking to make a tailor-made blouse or refine your sewing skills, follow along with Priscillia while she guides you through this bespoke sewing class. As you piece together a pattern and garment, you’ll add key skills to your sewing repertoire such as creating plackets, learning to sew on a mannequin, creating buttonholes, and so much more. By the end of this sewing class, you won’t only have a beautiful, well-made shirt custom fit to your taste and body, but also improved sewing skills that can take you toward a whole new wardrobe made by you. .
- You don’t need to be an expert sewist to take this class, but previous sewing knowledge such as basic stitches and how to use a sewing machine will be helpful. To make your shirt you will need a ruler, buttons, fabric, interfacing, measuring tape, pen, fabric scissors, paper scissors, a tracing wheel and paper, a set square, and a calculator. .
