About This Lesson

The sixth lesson in the fifth level.
The last for now; more lessons to be added soon.

Time to learn gathers, and there's seven gathered seams on this billowy unisex shirt. You'll be a pro by the time you complete this lesson! Our simplified method insures you get neat even gathers first time, every time.

As the projects get more difficult through Levels 5 and 6, you will notice that the instructions rely heavily on prior knowledge. The student is being weaned from the simplicity of the early Lesson Modules and toward the complexity of "standard patterns". The list of pre-requisities is getting LONG, and the materials chart is almost as complex as the "standard pattern" variety.

The fitting issues presented in each Lesson of Level 5 help the student achieve the desired fit and look regardless of body shape or size.

Approximate Time

An average student can complete the Bard's Shirt project in this Sewing Lesson Module in about 12-15 hours.
