Sewing 101: Basics
This class is very beginner friendly and adjustable to your skill level as you go! Elizabeth was my instructor and she did a great job of demonstrating and then having me repeat what she showed me. The objectives were very clear from the get go and I learned lots how many minute but important details I was skipping when sewing on my own. They provide all the supplies, so I highly recommend it for anyone interested in sewing but not ready to commit to their own sewing machine yet. -

Great class to introduce you to working a sewing machine! Jessica, the teacher, was patient and explained things really well. My class only had two other students so we go through the project pretty quickly and got extra help when needed. Will be taking more classes here for sure! -
