Prerequisite:

Students who have taken [Sewing 101] or a private lessons with me tend to be the most prepared, as my teaching style builds the strong foundation for all others. You do not need experience sewing knits - we will cover that in class. That said, if you feel confident, you know yourself best! This note is simply here to make sure you're set up to enjoy every minute — not spend it catching up or unlearning old habits. If your not sure if you meet the prerequisite - reach out I’d love to chat this over with you!
