I will be teaching purse making techniques this includes basting techniques needed to stitch neatly and accurately. Students will learn how to insert a zipper and how to attach purse hardware. I will demonstrate step by step sewing techniques as the learner follow along at their sewing machine. My style of teaching is very detailed, I will be emphasizing how paying attention to details are important when wanting to stay accurate and neat. I am patient with learners and I love to see progress more than perfection. Learners will be able to interact with me through the zoom classroom, email and extra video demos.
