$45
Have you ever wanted to use patterns but became confused when looking at the back cover? Why do those symbols and cutting guides seem like a foreign language? Then this is the class for you!
I will teach you about measurements, patterns, indie vs. commercial, fabric choices and more! We will also make a mock pattern (miniature), so you can get comfortable with laying out your pattern pieces and cutting them! Once you cut your fabric, you commit to the shape/size. Let me help it become less intimidating.
