Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Our Advanced Beginner Skill Level is designed for students who,
Have a good handle on the basics and are ready to dip your toe into more challenging waters.
You’re still fairly new to sewing from patterns and could use help with how to manipulate the pattern to get a better fit.
You want to add some new skills to your repertoire (invisible zippers, setting-in sleeves, etc.).
You want the option to use a serger for finishing techniques.
Advanced Beginner classes are generally multiple sessions and require homework to complete outside of class time. As one of your student perks, you are welcome to work on your homework during Open Sew.
