🔥 You’re looking at a handmade set… that cost $12 to make.

Yes, really.

This is exactly what we’re teaching in Sewing with Knits: Activewear + Swim—how to turn performance fabrics into pieces that actually fit your body (and look better than anything you’ll find in stores).

Think:
✔️ leggings with real pockets
✔️ sports bras you actually want to wear
✔️ swimsuits that fit

No more “almost right” activewear. No more settling.
In just 4 weeks, you’ll learn how to sew with stretch fabrics like spandex + Lycra, master professional finishes, and walk away with custom pieces you’ll live in all summer.

✨ Intermediate/advanced sewists—this is your next level.

đź“… Starts May 31

According to , sewing is cool again (though we’ve known that for the past 11 years!)… and honestly? The Pietra Pants prove it. ✂️🔥

Our Sewing 201 student made these stunning by and we’re officially obsessed with the effortless fit, modern silhouette, and “wait… you MADE those?!” energy.

There’s something really special about wearing clothes that actually fit your body and your style — especially when you made them yourself.

The handmade wardrobe renaissance is here, and we’re fully on board. 🧵

Proof that sewing with knits is officially less intimidating once you dive in ✂️✨

This student made the T-shirt dress version of the Ringer Tee in our Sewing with Knits workshop — and honestly, we’re obsessed with how polished (and comfy) it turned out. From working with stretch fabric to attaching neckbands and hemming without waviness, this class is all about building confidence with knits while making something you’ll actually wear on repeat.

And yes… she made it herself 👏
