Does your American Girl Doll need a stylish new pair of leggings? In this fun and hands-on sewing class, students will learn how to create leggings for their dolls using stretchy fabrics. Whether you're new to sewing or have experience, this class is perfect for any doll lover who wants to make one-of-a-kind outfits!

Throughout this course, we’ll go step-by-step, starting with how to select your fabric, cut the fabric, and sew it all together. You will learn basic sewing techniques, including working with stretchy materials, sewing seams, and using a walking foot.

The videos will contain the information necessary to give students a good understanding of each topic and each one will include a task for the students to undertake during the week to complete their project.
