Join us for sewing guidance, tips, and weekly demonstrations to improve your sewing technique. We'll help you purchase the right supplies, show you how to adjust your pattern for a better fit, and guide you through the garment construction process. Happy sewing! ​ Demonstrations: Week 1 - introduction, adjusting your pattern for fit, gathering Week 2 - regular zipper installation Week 3 - stitch in the ditch Week 4 - buttonholes NOTE: Supplies not included. Here's a list of the items you will need: - sewing machine - iron and ironing board - basic sewing kit (see below for a list of items) - commercial pattern - fabric for your project - any notions required for your garment Sewing Kit: - a spool of thread (we love 100% polyester, all purpose thread) - pins - pin cushion (or container) - fabric scissors - flexible measuring tape - sewing gauge - seam ripper - tailor's chalk - tracing wheel - tracing/transfer paper - hand-sewing needles There will be fun homework in this course (purchasing fabric for your project, washing it, cutting it out) but this takes time. Please be prepared to do your homework outside of class. NOTE: You will not need any project supplies for the first class, and we will provide many tips on selecting patterns and fabric in Week 1, so it is advised to wait to purchase your project supplies until after the first class.
