Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this sewing class:

This class introduces students to or re-acquaints them with their own home sewing machines. Through a series of project based, step-by-step exercises, students will quickly gain mastery in winding the bobbin, threading, changing the needle, balancing tension, stitching, and clean finishing various types of seams. Basic apparel construction concepts, such as applying interfacing, sewing curves, use of various seam allowances, and professional pressing will be emphasized. Students will apply these skills to two projects: construction of a tote bag and a pair of drawstring shorts or pants. Beginners welcome.

Please read:  Student must have own sewing machine at home to take this class.

Question from Mrs M.
Hello! I see this is a “virtual classroom” and does say under Remote Learning it is available for anyone who has an internet device with a microphone but then also says you must have a California address. Can you confirm you must live in California to attend this remote class? I live in the Midwest and would love to take this class! Thank you!!
