Are you ready to take your sewing skills to the next level?

Before attending Intermediate Sewing, you must have completed our Sewing 101 class to ensure you have the necessary foundation or have comparable experience.

During workshops we’ll be making a variety of projects for the confident beginner/intermediate sewist, including a drawstring backpack, a strawberry bookend and an ereader/iPad case.

With each project you’ll add new skills to your sewing experience.

In intermediate sewing you’ll also gain confidence in learning how to read patterns, organize your supplies, and work more independently (don’t worry, we’ll still be here to help).

This is a great class to take to prepare for kids garment making classes.
