Students will be making samples of each technique taught to add to their sewing basics notebooks. Just like any industry, there is vocabulary specific to the sewing industry and patterns. Learning proper vocabulary is a must and will be included. Each seminar in this series includes a section on fabric and the student will receive samples or various fabrics or handouts with each session.
It is recommended that you bring a notebook to keep your samples and handouts in. The goal of this seminar is to get one comfortable with sewing basics, to build confidence in one’s sewing endeavors, whether designing with knowledge of construction techniques, or simply comfortable making one’s own clothing, or anything in-between.
