Garment Sewing Basics
DOWNLOAD CLASS HANDOUT HERE
Would you like to learn how to make clothing? Whether you’re new to sewing, a quilter who wants to learn more about 3 dimensional construction, or someone who has sewn garments in the past but wants a refresher course because it’s been a while – this is the class for you!
We’ll cover all the basics for garment sewing: taking body measurements; choosing a pattern, size, & fabric; how to read a pattern; and more!
You’ll receive handouts to take notes on, measure yourself with a partner’s help, be shown some physical examples, and be able to ask any construction questions you might have. You will gain the courage & knowledge needed to start sewing clothing.
Wear comfortable clothing that isn’t too thick or oversized so you can take decent measurements of your own body to use in the future.
This is NOT a project class or a fitting class. Please do NOT bring a sewing machine.
