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: Anne Berrigan learned to sew in the 6th grade and has been making clothes ever since. She has constructed practically every article of clothing that exists including winter coats and a wedding dress. She has also learned how to make patterns and even designed her own line of summer clothing one season. Anne loves clothes and believes that everyone can enhance their own personal style by learning how to sew.
