Costs and rules of attendence
Classes are $30 for the rare 1 hour class $60 each for the standard a 2 hour class, and need to be paid monthly in advance to secure a weekly space, so check a calendar to see how many sessions are in each given month. For instance in a given month a 3pm Wednesday class would occur 4 times for a total of $240 or $120 depending, where as a 3pm Thursday class of that same month may occur 5 times for a total of $300 or $150 depending. Sessions are required to be paid in full prior to their start date.
If a class is missed, you must inform us at least 48 hours prior to get a credit. Credits for a make up class can only be arranged if an open slot can be found within the same week. Single/Drop In classes are possible based on availability for $60/$30 per class. Private lessons are $65 an hour, also by appointment.
Project Based Learning
Commercial Paterns
Everyone learns in their individual way, and I have found over the years, a hands on project based method is best to make full use of an individuals propensity and developing level of skill.
Each project you are guided through will increase your confidence and range of experience, such as how to understand and the geometry of measurements, the basics of using a sewing machine, creating and where to place pockets, zippers versus buttonholes, and much more.
Classes can accommodate a wide range of skill levels. You can start as a fresh beginner, and advance as far as you want to go.
Commercial Patterns are intended for or intermediate sewers, and not always very intuitive. I can teach you how to understand and use them. For the more creative or adventurous, I give classes in pattern making, how to make a basic pattern, and how to copy a garment. Pattern making classes are $45 an hour.
Classes will offer a range of possible structured projects, such as hats, scarves, dresses, bags, stuffies, pillows and pillow cases, pants, napkins, aprons, PJ bottoms, skirts, T-shirts, or any number of options.
