    Wanda is an amazing teacher and extremely patient. Aside from tracking me the basics of this simple skirt, she shared information about everything from selecting fabrics and measuring properly to threading the machine. I am very happy that I have successfully made a cute skirt and I can’t wait to wear it.

    This was a fun class and the instructor, Danny, was helpful and detailed in his explanations before-hand and also during the project. The project took about 2-2.5 hours as opposed to the 3 indicated...time moved pretty quickly unless you had a snafu or some technical difficulty. I have experience with sewing, but definitely picked up some jewels that I will take with me as I continue to sharpen my skills. Practice is key!

    Perfect class for beginners. I had played around with a sewing machine a little bit prior to the class, but this really boosted my confidence (especially as far as setting up the machine, how it actually works, and how to avoid making the mistakes I kept making before). Super fun instructor too!

    Daniel has the patience of a saint. Every time I heard an, "Oh, honey..." I knew I messed up something big time. He even let me stay way past class so I could finish my garment. This review is for the sewing bootcamp, but CourseHorse won't let me add it there. I took the sew-in-a-day class too, which was also great. But you learn a lot more over the three-day bootcamp

    I loved everything about this class. Our instructor Wanda was the perfect combo of knowledgeable, approachable, patient and funny! Having never used a sewing machine before, I was a little intimidated- but she explained things so well and was always there if one of us needed help. We ran over the time a little, but we all walked out with a skirt! I'd love to take another class with her.

Question from Jennifer A.
Would you have fabric to purchase at the site?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Jennifer! No, students will have to bring a medium Cotton or linen if there own choosing, to class (no stretch fabrics). We will not have fabric available for students to purchase on site. However, there are a couple of fabrics stores that are open on Sundays on 8th Ave between 37th and 38th, if students want to come at least 30minutes before class to purchase it in the area.
