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, sewing with a serger, etc.). 

 

Advanced Beginner classes are generally multiple sessions and require homework to complete outside of class time.
