In a set of 6 classes, learn to use a sewing machine and sew a project together using a commercial pattern. Sewing Essentials is a self-paced course; you can start your classes any time, choose your project, and attend class sessions on your own schedule.

Your first class includes an introduction to the sewing machine as well as a full orientation on supplies and pattern selection. You will have some freedom to choose the type of simple sewing project you want to do -- clothing, quilting, crafts, etc. Your remaining classes will cover sewing machine operation and completing your pattern project, using best practices for construction and finishing techniques.

The Supervised Sewing classes move you beyond the essentials to develop a set of common techniques used in most sewing projects. These sessions are flexible and open-ended, so you can return to your sewing classes for as long as you wish to have a teacher helping you. Choose your projects based on the skills you want to learn.

The flexibility of these classes is designed to be open-ended, so that you can continue returning to sewing class for as long as you wish to have a teacher helping you. Sign up for sets of 1, 3, 6 or 12 classes, depending on the size of your chosen project or the specific set of skills you are working on. Work on your own with your newly acquired skills from the Sewing Essentials class, then schedule your Supervised Sewing sessions as needed for help with the new, more challenging techniques.

Sewing Basics 1 is a prerequisite to this class.
