Class Experience

Have you ever purchased a sewing pattern from the store but had no idea where to start? In this class, students will; learn how to read the envelope of a commercial or indie sewing pattern. Sewing patterns can be overwhelming if you don't know how to take measurements! Students will also learn how to take measurements on themselves. This will help students determine which size they are on the pattern. We will also discuss fabric types and where to find the proper notions for your pattern. Students will also learn about PDF patterns v. commercial patterns. Students can bring a pattern to class to use while we are learning. 

**As this is an introductory class, we will not be talking about altering or making changes to patterns**

Learning Goals

-Students will learn how to read a pattern
-Students will learn about sizing
-Students will learn how to take measurements at the proper place

Parental Guidance
***Cancellations and Student No Shows: If your student can't be there, please withdraw your student, or at least contact me prior to class, and I will withdraw them. If you want a make-up class for the one missed, you will need to go back to sign up for another class. I do not make transfers. I apologize for the inconvenience. Communication BEFORE class is key. If you let me know before class starts your student will not be there, they will be withdrawn, and you will not pay for the class.
