About This Activity
The Advanced Sewing Class is designed for experienced sewers who want to take their skills to the next level. This course will focus on more intricate techniques, advanced garment construction, and creative projects. Participants should have a strong foundation in basic sewing skills and be ready to tackle more challenging projects. Each student should enter the class with working knowledge of sewing machine basics and be ready to tackle pattern design and creating more complex designs from patterns. Patterns will be provided although students are welcome to bring their own plans. We can reconstruct garments (Have that favorite pair of pajama pants that you want more copies of? We can make a pattern from them!), make adjustments to garments that don't fit, or create fun things like plushies, backpacks, or bags.
