ABC (Absolute Beginning Construction)
This four class session is designed for those with little or no sewing experience. You will learn about fabric selection, how to use a sewing machine, cut out a pattern, and basic sewing techniques. You will finish four projects in four weeks:a small zippered bag, a tote bag, a skirt out of woven fabric and a top out of knit fabric. All sewing is done in class. Price includes all materials for all projects.
DEF (Advanced Beginning/Intermediate)
This four session class is designed as a continuation of ABC. You will sew a skirt and top. You will learn to sew darts, put in a skirt zipper, apply a waistband, work with bias, and put in sleeves. You continue to use a serger to finish seams. All sewing will be done in class.
You will pick out and purchase fabric during the first class or bring possible fabrics from home and decide on suitability with Jacque. Sizing and fitting adjustments will be done during class.The cost of the patterns is included in the class fee.
Pick-A-Project Sewing Lab
If you have your basic sewing skills, this is a perfect class to work on one or several projects of your choice. You will receive help with fitting and sewing techniques during class. You can sew both in class and at home. A great opportunity for a more challenging project such as a suit or prom dress. (sorry no home dec projects).
A Lovely Spring Frock
Using Butterick pattern 5032
You will learn about sewing darts, zippers, facings, and gathers while making this fun Retro dress pattern. The pattern is provided with the class. You can pick out and purchase fabric during or before the first class, or bring possible fabrics from home and decide on suitability with Jacque. Jacque will also provide a template if you would like to change the neckline to a scoop neck. All sewing will be done in class. (if you purchase fabric in advance or bring from home you will need 45" = 4 3/4 yd, 60" 3 3/4 yd)
Alterations Clinic
Make your wardrobe fit you. Learn different pant hems, jeans, cuffs and tapering. Take in or let out a waist, shorten sleeves, or restyle an out of date garment. Jacque will walk you through fitting and altering your own clothing with professional results.
Learn to Serge: Leggings
The focus of this one day class is learning to use a serger to create knit garments.In this class you will be making a pair of leggings.
Pattern Fitting Clinic
Two two hour sessions to fit a pattern. A great class to get the perfect fit on a jacket, dress or blouse. There is not much sewing done in class the focus here is fitting. Ideally come to class with your pattern basted up in muslin or inexpensive fabric. You don't need to finish the details like the cuffs and collars. It is helpful to mark the grainline, waistline, and bustpoint on your garment before basting together. If you aren't that far along, bring the pattern you want to sew, with the pieces cut out, ready for a tissue fitting.
Plan to work on your garment between classes so that you can perfect your fit in the second class.
Secrets of the Pencil Skirt
This in-depth class takes you through all of the aspects of making a skirt that fits and hangs beautifully. You will try on muslin samples of the skirt to decides which size is best for you and then go forward to make samples of all of the different aspects of a skirt. Jacque shows you how to make a lining if using a pattern for an unlined skirt, specialty waistbands, several different ways to make vents, how to contour darts for your figure, different ways to put in a zipper, and multiple seam treatments. Class will be samples only but you can sew your skirt at home alongside your instruction. Pattern is included with class
