 New Class  by appointement

Pattern Reading and Construction Class:

 

This is a great class for those who have never worked with a commercial pattern, or would like to understand it.

You will learn how to read instructions, understand the different terms and symbols, how to cut the pattern, and sew it together.  We will talk about the necessary tools and fabrics to use in order to accomplish a well finished garment.

For those who don't have much sewing experience, I recommend to schedule one Beginner sewing class prior to taking the Pattern Construction Class.
