QUICK START
This project-based beginner course will build your confidence on a sewing machine. You’ll learn key sewing skills while you make sassy (yes, sassy!) projects. This course is a great starting point if you just want to dabble, and it’s perfect if you aren’t interested in doing clothes or if you’re not sure yet if you’ll like sewing. (Are you crazy? You’re going to LOVE it!) This course is suitable if you’re brand new to it all, or if you need a refresher to increase your comfort level on a sewing machine. It’s also a great stepping-stone after Introductory Sewing if you’re not sure you’re ready for an intermediate course yet.
