Sewing 101 Basics
I enjoyed this basic course very much! Teachers are very fun and inspiring. In each class, there is a project and 3 hours passes pretty quickly. There are many students of different skill levels, and it is still low pressure even if you don't know much about sewing. I was very confused to use a sewing machine before taking this class, but became a little more confident. Still a lot to learn :) -
