Description: This four-week class is organized in a workshop model for beginners and new sewers. Participants can select their own patterns and fabrics (should be graded “easy” or “beginner”). The instructor will work with you to help you understand and follow pattern instructions, cut out patterns and make minor pattern alterations for a better fit. In addition you will learn clothing construction fundamentals such as seams, darts, waistbands, zippers, buttonholes and hem techniques.
Instructor: Annissa Essaibi George is the owner of Stitch House. She has been sewing since she was 6 years old – her first project was a Barbie skirt! Prior to opening Stitch House, Annissa had a small side business making formal girls’ wear and Christening gowns. Annissa made her own prom gown, wedding dress and all her bridesmaid dresses.
