Want to make your own clothes but feel stuck when it comes to sewing patterns? In this one-time Pattern Reading Basics class, you’ll learn how to confidently read and use commercial sewing patterns so you can begin creating your own garments with ease.
We’ll break down the basics of pattern envelopes, sizing, fabric requirements, symbols, and sewing instructions so you can feel more comfortable starting your next garment project.
Note: This class focuses on using commercial patterns and does not cover drafting or creating your own patterns from scratch.
Learn how to navigate a commercial sewing pattern from start to finish. We’ll cover choosing the correct size, understanding pattern markings, preparing your pattern pieces, and following sewing instructions. Students will have time to prepare and cut their pattern, but will not sew their project during class.
Thursdays | 6:30-PM-8:30PM
Students must bring a commercial sewing pattern and the recommended fabric listed on the pattern envelope.
Previous sewing machine experience and knowledge is required, or students must complete our Machine Sewing Basics class before attending.
Our studio sews with Brother® computerized sewing machines. You’re welcome to use one of our studio machines, or bring your own functioning personal machine to get better acquainted with it.
