Description: This class is for young students who want to develop the knowledge of how to use a sewing machine and some of the tools associated with basic sewing skills. We review what most machines can do, and learn a variety of techniques commonly used in all kinds of sewing projects.
Week 1: Machine Basics: Students will learn machine parts, threading, and basic stitches by practicing first on paper and then fabric.
Week 2: Students will be working with non-stretch (woven) fabrics to help them build foundational sewing skills such as stitch variations, stitch length and width, zig zag capabilities and decorative stitches.
Week 3: Students will introduced to a simple project to be completed during class, allowing for some creativity and personalization within the project.
Parent Requirements: Upstairs - drop off & sign in all students; pick up and sign out all students; Parents are free to stay for the class to assist your child; parents will be called to pick up their child immediately if there is an attitude or discipline issue.
Materials Included: Sewing machines, fabrics and all necessary tools and materials
Location: All classes take place UPSTAIRS in our CREATIVE SPACE unless otherwise noted. Use the exterior stairs on the side of the building to enter.

She has formal training in fashion design and construction through Fashion Careers International, Los Angeles Trade Technical College and FIDM.
