  • Introduction to Sewing Techniques (Intensive)

    It was my first foray into the world of sewing and I'm only sorry I didn't begin 15 years ago at least! I probably could've been better prepared with a small notebook because my teacher, David, I think his name was, gave lots of notes and tips. I learned some basic stitches on the sewing machine and though I really fudged up the tailor's seam, David was more than willing to help out. He encouraged questions, gave lots of demonstration and was very patient. He also gave us invaluable information: recommended a great basic sewing machine and also the name of a great instructional book to learn from -- also available on Amazon. However, I highly recommend taking at least one class so you get first-hand experience on how to thread the machine and use it. Just so you know, you can take the class as a single class, like I did, or you can take three more classes that run concurrently to this one. It's a total 4 session class where your teacher gives you homework (that's why you take notes in class and apply them to your newly learned skills at the machine). Lots of fun and David was a great instructor; I highly recommend!
