Take your sewing skills from “homemade” to “high-end” in this technical, precision-focused workshop. This class is designed for the intermediate to advanced maker who wants to master the internal engineering of a garment or accessory, leaving raw edges completely enclosed for a flawless, couture finish.
Workshop Focus

Couture Construction: Move beyond the basic straight stitch and zigzag edge. This session is all about creating durable and clean seams.
-
The French Corner Challenge: The ultimate test of precision. Using a French seam without getting raw edges caught in the corner.
