Draping 101
Jenn was a great instructor. She is very patient and very knowledgeable. I really enjoyed her instruction. I recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn how to create a sloper and learn about draping. The course list was not up to date when I signed up. Note that you will need to purchase a manequinn, hip curve, and tracing wheel and you will need a soft surface to place under the pattern when using your tracing wheel. I also recommend a cutting board. You also need to have a sewing machine (or be willing to sew by hand). There is only homework between the 3rd and 4th classes during which you will use the sewing machine. -

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. -
