Learn to sew clothing! This five-week Beginner Level Clothing Course focuses on clothing construction; new sewists can jump into this series to gain lasting clothes-making skills.

You’ll learn to shop for garment fabric, notions, and patterns.
You’ll make an a-line skirt with an invisible zipper, and a faced waistband, using the Firore Skirt Pattern by Closet Core Patterns.

For those who want to learn to learn from a men’s sewing pants pattern, the pattern is the Rambler Pants Pattern by Friday Pattern Company.

Using the Ilford Shirt Jacket Pattern by Friday Pattern Company, you’ll make a simple shirt jacket with a collar, buttonholes, and a button-front placket.

This course consists of five weekly sessions.
Class 1 involves a 1.5-hour trip to the fabric store together, where you’ll learn how to choose fabric, notions, and interfacings. Bring your bust, waist, and hip measurements.
Classes 2-5 are where you’ll learn all about getting the right fit, cutting, and constructing two basic garments. Bring a sewing machine (or rent one), fabric scissors, pins, tailor’s chalk or fabric pen, seam ripper, and a tape measure each week. Your instructor will email you the supply list of pattern links, materials, and preparation instructions specific to the projects you’ll be making.

*BONUS! Because we’re serious about practicing making perfect, you get three complimentary admissions to Friday Night Sewing Meetups! Schedule by emailing us here to let us know which days you plan to attend. ASAP because space is limited!
