WHAT’S COVERED
Lessons are tailored to your needs. Learn to make a garment, copy a garment or get assistance with a special project.
Some of the things you can learn in a series of four two-hour lessons:
• How to use & troubleshoot your machine, its various stitches and attachments
• How to take your own measurements and choose a pattern size (tip: it’s not what you’d buy in ready-to-wear!)
• Advanced tailoring such as bound buttonholes, welt pockets and couture seam finishes
• Altering patterns and finished garments to fit you perfectly
See payment policies for more information.
