Students will learn the ins, outs, hows and whys to seaming with four different techniques. We will work through a crochet-as-you-go method to join fabric with double crochets, secure fabric with slip stitches, create a seam using a tapestry needle to execute the mattress stitch and whip stitch. With each technique students will be able to pick up tips and tricks to craft a clean, and secure seam that pairs well with the look, function, and pattern instructions of any given project. Get excited to level up your crochet skillset and take the polished finish of your projects to new heights!
