Western Shirtmaking with Manny Cuevas - SPOTS AVAILABLE!!

Manny Cuevas is offering a 4-day Western shirtmaking class in November and again in December. Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to learn a couture craft that is a part of Nashville history, and create a beautiful, wearable shirt. Wear It Out by Manny!

Manny will demonstrate every step that goes into making a shirt on his industrial equipment and assist each student individually. Students will get to see fine examples of Manny’s craft, try their hands at industrial sewing, design, cut, and create their own custom shirt. Students will need to bring a basic button-up, collared shirt pattern with a one-piece sleeve with an underarm seam (it does not need to be Western style), fabric, home machine, and supplies. Detailed instructions, a supplies list, and preparation work required before the class will be sent upon registration.

This class is not suited for beginners. In order to complete the shirt within the four days, students will need to do some prep work and maybe some homework. Manny will provide the pearl buttons on the last day and teach students how to install it with his equipment.

Class will meet at Textile Fabrics and will include over 24 hours of instruction. The total price of the class is $480. A 50% deposit is required upon registration in order to hold your spot. You may pay Manny Cuevas via Venmo @Manny-Cuevas-7 or leave a check paid to the order of Manny Cuevas at Textile Fabric.
