Garment Sewing Fundamentals

$140.00

Saturday, September 26 | 10 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Ready to move beyond simple projects and start sewing clothes you'll actually wear? This one-day workshop is designed to build the essential garment sewing skills every sewist should know!

Through a series of guided samples, you'll learn professional techniques used in garment construction while creating a binder of reference swatches to take home. We'll cover seam finishes, hems, pockets, zippers, bias binding, elastic casings, and more—giving you the confidence to tackle garment patterns with success.

In this class you’ll recieve:

  • Step-by-step instruction

  • A printed garment sewing reference binder

  • Fabric and supplies for all technique samples

  • Printed handouts and notes

Techniques covered include:

  • Basic seams

  • Finishing seams

  • Finishing raw edges

  • Patch pockets

  • Hems

  • Elastic casings

  • Centered zipper installation

  • Bias binding

Rather than completing a single project, you'll leave with a personalized sewing reference you'll return to again and again whenever you start a new garment!

Becky Jane studied pattern making and design at Apparel and Arts in San Francisco, and has been teaching sewing and pattern drafting for 10+ years. She’s also the owner of By Becky Jane where she creates and sells custom apparel and accessories.
