Description
If you are brand new to sewing or just want to build on the skills you already have, then this is the course for you!
In this introductory class, we will learn how to operate a sewing machine and serger, read and follow basic patterns, learn various stitching techniques, and much more. Throughout the course we will work through 3–4 project-based exercises focusing on accuracy and mastery. In addition, the course has been structured to facilitate a low student to teacher ratio to ensure personalized instruction for varying levels of skill.
Students will be required to supply their own sewing machine, supplies and notions, and fabric for various projects. A supply list and general course syllabus will be provided upon registration.
