As creators we are always looking to level up, am I right? If you feel like it is time to step up your sewing game and learn more skills with your sewing machine this class is for you!

In this class I will walk you through the next level of sewing skills and techniques as a follow up to the Sewing 101 Basics Course - this will allow you to keep on developing your sewing style and knowledge.

Skills you’ll learn in this class include:

Fabric grainline, crossgrain and bias cut
Beyond the sewing machine, learning about overlock and coverstitch
Finishing seams such as:
Finishings pt. 1 - trimming, grading, finish with pinking shears & zig zag stitch.
Finishings pt. 2 - french seams flat felled seams, faux flat felled seams.
Finishings pt. 3 - Hong Kong seams, bias binding & facings.
Other stitches beyond the regular straight stitch like overcast stitch & zig-zag stitch

This course is designed for beginner to intermediate level sewists. You can apply these skills for a more elevated & better finished garment PLUS to feel more confident in other techniques and garment construction needs. You'll never be afraid of a zipper ever again! Everything we learn in this class will help you to tap into garment making, sewing PDF patterns and create lots of clothing that will look straight out of a store.
