Bring garments you would like to work on for practice using all of the techniques explored in the first and second sessions.
I started sewing with my mom at age 7, but stumbled into it as a career path in my twenties, when I began volunteering as a sewing instructor for kids at the Sitar Center for the Arts in Washington, DC.
