These 2‑week series can be taken in any order—take one, take all, or repeat a series to further hone your skills with Joan’s expert guidance. In this series, we will cover: Closures: Zippers & Buttonholes. How many ways are there to sew in zippers or make buttonholes? These questions will be answered and practiced in this sewing series. If insecurity and fear of sewing zippers and buttonholes stop you from making what you desire, these classes are for you. With step-by-step instructions, a zipper and buttonhole will no longer be intimidating. REQUIREMENT: All levels of sewers are welcome to these Sewing Fundamentals classes, however, if you are completely new to using a sewing machine, you must take Family & Beginner Sewing 101 & Family & Beginner Sewing 102 first. If you have experience from elsewhere, that’s also fine. In order to enroll in this class, a student must know how to thread and use a/their sewing machine, have a basic understanding of fabric cutting and iron pressing techniques, and be comfortable with beginner sewing techniques. MACHINE OPTION: It’s ideal to learn on your own sewing machine, but you may also borrow and learn on one of ours. Please note, if bringing your own sewing machine it is very important to make sure it is fully functional. You will need all the cords, the manual, the presser foot, at least 1 bobbin and the bobbin case. Check this ahead of time. All materials are included.
