INTRODUCTORY SEWING
Whether you're a first-time seamstress-in-the-making or a frequent dabbler looking to increase your knowledge and refine your sewing skills, this program is the perfect place to start. Introductory Sewing is our most technically focused, most comprehensive sewing course. And it’s fun to boot! You’ll learn the basics of sewing plus how to work with (and adjust!) a pattern. You’ll build a solid sewing foundation (read: be able to sew anything after this!) and you'll leave with three projects including a custom skirt. We'll have you on your way to sewing much, much more.
