What Students Will Learn/Experience Needed:
Students will build their skills from simple to more complex projects in this course. It's best that they have some sewing experience, but it's not required because this course starts with a couple simple beginning projects.
They will be adding a zipper and bias tape which will require some sewing experience, so they know how to sew straight and accurately. Less experience students will require more attention, so a one-on-one class could be an option for them.
On the pajama pants they will be making a pattern from their own pair, so this may be tricky. Also they will be drafting the wrap skirt pattern, so you will need to be comfortable helping them with correct measuring.
Patterns can be made on poster board or large white paper (from a roll). Making patterns on a few projects (like the pillow, tote, and apron) can be eliminated for a shorter course duration. In which case you would make the pattern templates for them to use in class.
The step-by-step video instruction is divided into easy to watch segments ranging from 14 19 minutes for each class. This is perfect for a 60 to 90 minute class depending on how many students you have per class.
Course duration is 16 to 20 weekly classes (which is a total 24 to 30 hours in class) or 4 to 5 sewing summer camp full days.
