Class Requirements:
Participants must complete the Beginner Workshop (or know how to thread and use a sewing machine) prior to starting this course. This class is appropriate for both Skill Level 2 and Skill Level 3 or experienced stitchers who have never sewn with knit fabric.
SKILL LEVEL 2 - ADVANCED BEGINNER
Level 2 Classes are designed for stitchers who have basic sewing experienced and have practiced within the last year. You know how to use and thread a sewing machine and bobbin on your own. You know how to sew a simple seam and are familiar with terminology such as “right sides together” and “seam allowance”. If you have previously taken a workshop with Made Stitch Co, you will be ready for this level.
SKILL LEVEL 3 - BEGINNER DRESSMAKER
Level 3 Classes are designed for stitchers who are confident using a sewing machine and have practiced in the last six months. You can complete a simple project, such as pillow case or tote bag, without difficulty. You are ready to begin sewing clothing but not sure how to get started. You have never sewn a garment using a commercial pattern.
