Skill Level: Intermediate
Our Intermediate Skill Level is designed for students who,
Are no longer intimidated by the idea of reading a pattern and comfortable reading a pattern and have made a number of projects.
You’re venturing into more complicated patterns (e.g. lined garments, plackets, collars, zippered fly).
You would like to learn different methods of garment or quilting construction, (e.g. zipper installation, how to alter your patterns, color theory, complex piecing).
You would like to learn more complicated techniques on the serger.
Intermediate classes are faster paced and generally 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.
