Sewing is an art that serves as an essential tool and creative outlet for everyone who learns it.

Learn The Art of Sewing: Beginners Basics is a 4-day course designed to teach individuals that are interested in learning the art of sewing everything they need to know to successfully start their sewing journey. This class is perfect for students who have never touched a sewing machine before, and it is also the pre-requisite class for those that are interested in eventually learning to sew either stuffed animals, doll clothes, quilts, bags, or even clothing for themselves via my Garment Construction Class Series.

Below is a rough breakdown of what we will cover over the course of the class.
