AS IN, BRAND NEW

As in, brand new to the sewing world.  Welcome!

Garments & Quilting: You’ve never touched a sewing machine before, but you want to try, learn, or even just for the heck of it, why not? We want you to fall in love with sewing that we supply the machines, tools and gadgets so you wouldn’t have to by yours right away.

BEGINNER  

Garments: You’ve made simple things like gathered skirts, tote bags & pillow cases in woven fabrics. You’re starting to get comfortable with your sewing machine or simply have taken our Bootcamp: Intro to Sewing or Basics of the Basics

Quilting: You are comfortable with a rotary cutter and can sew a straight line with your sewing machine, however, you’ve never made a quilt and want to learn the basics.

CONFIDENT BEGINNER

Garments: You’ve made a few garments in woven fabric following a sewing pattern.   Maybe projects that didn’t have too many pieces and seams. You’re still a bit challenged with set-in sleeves, neckbands, cuffs, etc.

Quilting:  You’ve made a quilt or two, but would like to improve on your process and the various steps in quilt-making (piecing, sandwiching, binding and quilting). 

INTERMEDIATE  

Garments: Beginner & confident beginner patterns are easy to sew for you. You sometimes can hack patterns to follow your heart. 

You’ve been successful inserting sleeves, zippers (even invisible), pockets and interfacing but still have to read instructions thoroughly.

Quilting:  You’ve made several quilts and are comfortable with each step of making a quilt. You are ready to learn how to make a new quilt block or learn a new quilting technique. 

ADVANCED  

Garments: You can say: “I can sew this with my eyes closed!” You don’t have a problem putting together projects with small pieces.  There are patterns that you need not to read through anymore.  You are very independent but still like a great challenge. 

Quilting: You have made oodles of quilts and can follow any pattern. Maybe you’ve even designed a quilt or two on your own. You are independent, but love a great challenge and trying your hand at complicated quilts.

Sew Essentials: The Sewing Spot is a fantastic place to learn and grow as a sewer. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and patient. I’ve made several beautiful garments that I never thought I could create on my own!

I joined Sew Essentials with no prior sewing experience, and now I’m making my own clothes! The classes are fun, well-organized, and tailored to all skill levels. Sonia and her team are simply the best.
