Lessons in the Course:
Lesson One: “Intro to Sewing” – learning the different parts of the machine, thread tension, different stitches, basics on types of fabric, learning how to thread your machine, and sewing a straight line and zig zag stitches.
Lesson Two: Sewing a cushion cover. This class gives the most basic beginner confidence and practice sewing a straight line, while creating something fun and functional for your home!
Lesson Three: Sewing a tote bag! This class brings your straight stitch sewing skills from the last class to the next level, and gives you an introduction to patterns. You’ll learn how to read pattern, what the symbols mean, how to trace a pattern, and how to cut out your fabric with a pattern. By the end of the class, you’ll have a beautiful fun, lined tote bag!
Lesson Four: How to make pajama pants! This session combines all the skills you’ve learned so far: sewing straight lines, reading, tracing, cutting and using a pattern, and also elevates the skill level to translating body measurements onto your pattern. By the end of the class, you’ll be able to make matching PJ’s for the whole family for the holidays!
Lesson Five: How to sew a lined zipper pouch! Learn all about different kinds of zippers, the parts of the zipper, what a zipper foot is and how to use it. By the end of this lesson you will have made a lovely zipper pouch! When you realize how simple and wonderful they are, you’ll want to make a bunch as gifts for your friends.
Lesson Six: How to sew a circle skirt! Learn about all the different types of circle skirts, and how to draft your own pattern from scratch.
After that, we just keep going with different projects! It’s a great way to enjoy learning a useful skill, make new friends and have fun with a great group of ladies. I have taught both in person and virtually, and we can do one or the other or a combination, depending on the interest of the group.
Michelle –
I love Diosa’s classes. She makes everything understandable and fun. All the lessons she has set up really set you up to success, from loading the machines, understanding the vocabulary within sewing to reading and cutting patterns. I highly recommend her sewing class!
