Ages 18+

Class Level: Intermediate

Intermediate level classes are suited for makers who have taken 2-3 Advanced Beginner classes in their craft, and/or have made several projects on their own, and are feeling independent in their skills. Some classes may include pre-class prep to be completed on your own. Sewing students must be comfortable threading their machines, following a seam allowance, changing presser feet, and troubleshooting minor machine issues.

Learn more about our class levels here.

Class prep:

• To maximize class time for sewing and construction, please apply interfacing and cut out all the pieces prior to class.
• You will need to cut, tape, and assemble several of the pattern pieces before cutting your fabrics. Make sure you transfer the pattern markings and cut your fabric according to the pattern's instructions.
