This video course features a series of in-depth videos to help you to learn how to sew a classic, edge to edge cardigan on your overlocker. The PDF pattern for the cardigan is included along with written instructions too. Over 8 lessons we will guide you through using your overlocker to make a garment.
Our cardigan pattern has been a firm favourite for a long time. We've been using it in workshops and we're very pleased to be releasing it for you to sew at home. The Edge to Edge cardigan has no buttons, it features large pockets and is a comfortable hip length style. Easy to wear, you can throw this cardigan over any outfit for an easy extra layer.

It is vitally important, when sewing your own clothes, to take accurate measurements of your body, and not rely on the sizing you expect to buy on the high street. For this pattern we have opted to use sizing XS-XXL, which approximately covers UK sizes 8-24. Measure yourself first to choose the right size for you!

I’ve taught hundreds of people to understand and fully use their overlocker, but when I first started out, I was rather scared of the machine and nervous that I could mess it up. can even show you simply and easily how it works too!

This course is for you if you want to build your confidence and skills using your overlocker. With clear, step by step support we will walk you though constructing a garment on your overlocker and sewing a cardigan you'll wear everyday.
To get the most out of the course you will want to sew along with us as we demonstrate techniques and work with you to the sew garments. You could join without an overlocker if you have a sewing machine but the instructions only include overlocker settings.
Although we are using a Brother overlocker for our demonstrations, all the information and all the projects are suitable for overlockers of all types!
