SPORT TOP / BIKE SHORTS - LEVEL 3
If you're the athletic type, you totally need to learn how to sew with super-stretch lycra fabrics. This sporty outfit is just the greatest for exercise, tumbling, gymnastics, bike riding, rollerskating, and even swimming if you choose the right fabrics.

The sport top is cut close to make use of lycra's ability to stretch. The armholes and neckline are low, but modest. The Bike Short has a molded fanny seam that allows a flat front with no center front seam. Smooth looking AND comfortable!

New skills learned while sewing both garments include sewing super-stretchy seams and applying stitched-on elastic. Skill group 3 - Lesson 4

FLANNEL SLEEP SHIRT / VELOUR ROBE WITH POCKETS AND BELT - LEVEL 4
The Sleep Shirt has short raglan sleeves which can be finished with or without elastic at the arm. The narrow elastic around the neck helps students learn to work with smaller parts than they've been used to with the wide waist elastic. The robe is comfy and long. Side-seam pockets are our first pocket to learn. The belt teaches tube turning techniques.

Both projects teach the student to make the inside of the garment look as nice as the outside, one of the important goals of Level 4 "green group" lessons. Skill group 4 - Lesson 1

SATIN VEST WITH FLAT-FELL SEAMS / SATIN SPORT SHORTS WITH POCKETS - LEVEL 4
The Vest is a simple unlined style that lends itself well to flat fell seams. The Shorts have a style like soccer shorts, with a slit on the side seam. The pockets are half-welt style placed on the side seam. All seams are flat felled.

Both projects teach the student to make the inside of the garment look as nice as the outside, one of the important goals of Level 4 "green group" lessons.

This outfit really does wash up just fine in the recommended satin - it has a sand-washed silk look. IMPORTANT! DO NOT buy the 'washable' poly satin, or any other polyester fabrics for this project. They don't press well and it makes felling the seams a miserable task. We know. We tried. Skill group 4 - Lesson 3
