Students consistently praised the small class size and individual attention they received at the Sewing 101: Bootcamp. They walked away with a fundamental understanding of how to operate a sewing machine and execute a personal project, such as sewing a skirt or tote bag. Many felt more confident in their abilities to start their own garments and valued the opportunity to learn how to read a commercial pattern. Several students found the instructors to be patient and willing to answer numerous questions, which made their learning experience even more effective. Quotes: 1. "The class was very enjoyable, you basically get an overview of how the machine works, how to prepare you machine to sew." 2. "The second project introduces you to how to read a commercial pattern and how to prepare/pin/cut the fabric for your garment." 3. "I came out feeling much more confident about my own projects and starting my own garments."
