How To Sew Clothes: Garment School w/ Nat

Learn to sew clothes! In this four-part class, we’ll walk through each step of the garment sewing process—from reading a pattern and taking measurements to cutting fabric and sewing it all together.

Students will have the choice to make a boxy top, dress, cardigan, or coat. And walk away with the confidence to make more garments on their own.

Ages 18+

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

Advanced Beginner classes are designed as “next step” classes to build basic skills. Sewing students must have taken Sewing 101 and/or be comfortable threading their machines and sewing simple projects. Students should be comfortable using their sewing machine, and sewing straight lines (have taken a beginner sewing class)
