If you’re tired of making ill-fitting clothes from store-bought patterns, this class is for you. In the first four sessions, you’ll learn the basics of pattern making. Then, alter a store-bought pattern of your choice in the remaining sessions to fit you or your model of choice. You’ll walk away from this class confident and ready to alter patterns on your own.

Learn a variety of basic embroidery stitches for embellishing your clothing and hiding (or highlighting!) holes and stains! Leave class with a sampler of embroidery stitches you can refer back to, along with knowledge of tools, materials, and techniques for stitching up embroidered designs.

Learn how to use the sewing machine, cut patterns and sew. Develop your own personal sewing kit. Bags, pillows and simple clothing lead to more complex projects as you gain more experience. Sewing is practical and fun.

Learn to warp and dress a rigid heddle loom through direct warping, type and composition of warp yarns. Calculate yarn requirements for projects, sett analyses, and fabric finishing techniques.

You'll make a warp of your own design, weave if off and remove it from the loom by the end of the class.
