ONSITE: Sewing from a Pattern
We’ve all dreamed of making our own clothes. For the non-professional, we’ve got patterns! Sam Christian will provide some sewing know-how for students to spin unique garments using a combination of pre made patterns. We’ll learn to read and comprehend patterns, choose the right fabrics and make a garment we’ll be proud to show off!
