Ready to take your hand sewing to the next level? Join dress historian and YouTube star Bernadette Banner to learn the next set of helpful stitches for your hand sewing journey—all you need is a needle and thread.

Join Bernadette in her studio once again to enjoy step-by-step hand stitching walkthroughs--whether you just need a quick refresher or are ready to learn them for the first time. Drawing from her background as a dress historian, Bernadette employs sewing techniques used for centuries to bring you hands-on demonstrations of useful stitches for mending or sewing garments by hand. By mastering these more specialized stitches, you’ll learn to find the balance between seam strength and time to select the perfect stitch for the job at hand.

Seamsters and sewing machine loyalists alike will learn something from hands-on lessons in how to complete:

The Herringbone stitch
The Blanket stitch
The English stitch
The Drawing stitch
The Pad stitch

Plus, tips and tricks on using the pad stitch to sculpt your fabric, learning how to identify the strength of each stitch, and understanding where where best to employ them.

Whatever your sewing goals may be, by the end of this class you’ll have the tools, knowledge and confidence to hand sew like a pro!
