Class Experience
In this 7 week flex class for advanced sewists, learners will create knit overalls customized to their preferences. The pattern we will be using allows for multiple lengths, top and strap options. Learners will learn how to attach various types of hardware and/or attach buttons and button holes. The overalls we will be making will be made of knit fabric instead of denim, unlike traditional overalls. This makes the garment soft and extra comfy to wear. In class, our schedule is as follows: Week 1: Assemble pattern and cut fabric Week 2: Work on bodice Week 3: Finish bodice and begin pants Week 4: Finish bodice pocket Week 5: Work on waistband Week 6: Attach hardware for straps Week 7: Hem pants and finish any other unfinished steps Please note, this class is for advanced sewists. We will be moving quickly through the project, and independent work will be required. In class, a sewing machine is required and a serger is recommended as it makes sewing knits quick and simple. Please no "kids sewing machines" as they jam frequently and cause great frustration. Sewing machines should be standard sewing machines with the ability to sew a zigzag or stretch stitch and reverse.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Whitney and I am so excited to have the opportunity to share my expertise with you! I have a Bachelors degree from Florida State University, and I have over 10 years of teaching experience. I have taught formally in a preschool classroom, and I currently teach ESL online. I have also taught horseback riding, rowing, canning, Sunday school, and I look forward to sharing my classroom with you!
I believe that learning should be FUN! Some times a bit messy, maybe a bit silly, but always full of smiles and laughter. I believe that we remember what we learn best when we remember the experience as a positive one. I also believe that life can be one of the greatest educators. I love to bring real life examples into my classes.
When I am not spending with my family and dogs, I enjoy teaching sewing classes, budgeting classes, science, English, art, and having a fun and educational story time for young learners. Often times, I will bring my dogs to class as teaching tools!
Thank you for viewing my profile, and I hope to see you in class soon!
