Sewing 101: Basics
This class is very beginner friendly and adjustable to your skill level as you go! Elizabeth was my instructor and she did a great job of demonstrating and then having me repeat what she showed me. The objectives were very clear from the get go and I learned lots how many minute but important details I was skipping when sewing on my own. They provide all the supplies, so I highly recommend it for anyone interested in sewing but not ready to commit to their own sewing machine yet. -
