Garment 101- Pants!

Interested in garment sewing and not sure where to begin? We are here for you. In this class you will learn the garment sewing process from start finish and make a pair of flattering elastic waist band pants for yourself!
This class is designed for beginner sewists, new-to-garment sewing crafters, and anyone who is intimidated by pants and wants to learn more.
