  • Sewing 101 Basics

    Reviewed by Hiroko N. on 7/23/2023
    I enjoyed this basic course very much! Teachers are very fun and inspiring. In each class, there is a project and 3 hours passes pretty quickly. There are many students of different skill levels, and it is still low pressure even if you don't know much about sewing. I was very confused to use a sewing machine before taking this class, but became a little more confident. Still a lot to learn :)

    This course was awesome. The instructor was amazing and very patient. I plan to take the Intro II class to keep learning how to crochet.

    Instruction was great, loved the hands on technique, and was right on pace with my learning. I was knitting in no time, even went home and knitted for another few hours.

    The instructor was knowledgeable and patient. I was able to get examples, practice and encouragement. I look forward to another class, I would like to know how to read crochet patterns or perhaps learn how to make some other items.
