In this class we will work together to sew a dress form for 18" dolls. We will cut the pattern, sew the form, stuff it, and glue to the base. Each step will be demonstrated by the instructor as we walk through the creation together. The instructor will not be providing instructions on running a sewing machine in this class and students are expected to know how to sew a straight stitch on their machine. Please note that this is a leveled class. Each student is required to know how to accomplish the tasks in the previous levels before beginning classes of a higher level as I will no longer be covering those skills in higher level courses. If students need help learning a skill they have missed in a previous level class please message me and I can point you to a class where we teach that skill or set up a private lesson to make sure the skill is learned. Novice: straight stitches, hems, casings, elastic Beginner: straight stitching, some hand sewing, applying snaps Confident Beginner: gathering, hook & loop tape (aka velcro) Intermediate: fold over elastic, stretch lace, bias tape, pleats, darts, zippers, and pockets Advanced Intermediate: sizing techniques Experienced: beading, buttonholes, welt pockets Advanced: couture techniques, french seams

Parental Guidance
There must be an adult present in the students location during class in case of emergency.
Students will need to have access to a working sewing machine for this class. The instructor will be using an older version of this machine: https://amzn.to/2XtCcsY
Students are responsible for knowing how to turn on, and thread their spacific machine prior to beginning class. If you need help with these steps often craft store employees (who you can meet with personally) and/or youtube videos are of great assistance. Please let the instructor know prior to class if you are still struggling and we will find a way to help.
Students will also be using hot glue for this class and parental supervision is suggested.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Brigham Young Univeristy - Idaho
Hello! I'm Aubrey and I am mom to 9 crazy children ages four through sixteen. We live on a homestead in Idaho where we raise rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, quail, goats, pigs and sheep.
I have a degree in Math Education and one in Family History but I love to teach a number of subjects. I absolutely love meeting new students! My favorite thing about teaching is helping my students to learn to use the tools that I am giving them in their daily life. Join my classes to learn about math, English, history and many more homestead themed topics to help you complete daily tasks and possibly find a new hobby in the process.
I'm excited to meet you!Reviews
