Do you want to learn how to sew for small projects or fashion designing? Do you love embroidery but don't know how to do it? Join this ongoing, weekly Hand Sewing Club to gain confidence to know that You "Sew" Can Do This!

--Each week we will start a new project which means that new learners can join at any point and feel a part of this club. Dependent on the project and student, some sewing projects will finish in class and others can be finished outside of class if desired.

--We will not be sewing with a sewing machine in this course due to the many levels of help that could be required for each student with re-thread, bobbin help, etc.

-- Class Structure/ Teaching Style: After fashion designing for over 40 years and teaching over 2,000 students online, I know what it takes to help students feel confident in designing. Each class, we discuss a summary of what we will do for that day and make sure everyone has the materials they need. Then I will give guided instructions for them to feel confident and be able to see what they need to do to create the design/ project of the week. Students can ask questions during class and show what they've done so far.
