Intro To Pattern Sewing

Jump-start your handmade wardrobe while learning the basics of fashion sewing in our Intro to Garment Sewing Weekend Sewing Intensive. Students in this class learn how to use a sewing machine for fashion sewing and how to read and use a sewing pattern while making the Lottie Shift Dress by Christin...

The first step in learning how to sew is learning how to use the sewing machine. We teach on any make and model of machine. Our goal is for our students to be comfortable on their sewing machine so they can sew better!  This class will be limited to one student.

This is a very hands on class for beginners. We start making projects since first class. You will learn hand stitching, how to use a sewing machine, fix your favorite clothes, the use of patterns, among many others.

With this introductory pattern-making class, you will learn the how to measure and map the lower body to create a skirt template or sloper that is custom fit to your figure! The final sloper can be used in turn to create patterns for an endless variety of styles of skirts.

Sewing is an invaluable skill that anyone can and should learn! Whether you want to learn how to repair a torn piece of clothing, sew drapery or just want a creative outlet, sewing fulfills all of these purposes. It’s a lifelong lesson that you’ll always appreciate having.
