From Nervous to Confident at the Sewing Machine
Taught by someone with over 15 years of studio and classroom experience, this course assumes you know nothing and builds up from there. Over 40 lectures and 1.5 hours of instruction cover machine basics, every essential stitch, seam finishes, pattern reading, and three projects you'll actually want to make. You'll learn the technical foundation that separates a wobbly first seam from the control you need for any project.
The course follows the same structure used to teach hundreds of people in person, so you're getting time-tested instruction. By the end, you'll have enough confidence to tackle those projects you've been imagining—and the skills to actually pull them off.
About this course
This course follows the same format that I have used to teach hundreds of people how to sew in my studio, fabric stores and schools for over 15 years.
We’re starting right from the beginning, so don’t worry if you’ve never sewn before. And if you’ve been sewing for a while, but without much guidance or without a strong technical focus, I'm sure you’ll notice your skills and your finished projects improve significantly.
We’ll start by taking a quick look at the sewing machine and some of the tools used in sewing. You’ll learn various stitches and seam finishes and, of course, we’ll have lots of time to sew! By the end of the course, you will feel confident enough to begin tackling some of those projects you've been dreaming about!
