Prerequisite: Intro to Sewing

In this class students will build on the skills learned in Intro to Sewing and move on to more advanced techniques such as darts, gathers, facings and lapped zippers. 

Description: Intermediate Sewing

The Project:

We’ve created a dress that incorporates new skills to add to your sewing repertoire—a gathered skirt, neck facing, darts, notched cuffs, and lapped zipper. These skills will build confidence in your abilities and open up new possibilities for you to create projects at home. The skills we introduce in this class are:

• Darts: darts are important elements for proper fitting around the curves of the body, especially when working with woven fabrics

• Gathers: use gathers to create fullness in skirts, sleeves, bodices and other elements of a garment

• Facings: facings are used to create a smooth, seamless opening such as a neckline or pocket opening

• Lapped zippers: used as closures on pants, skirts, and dresses

• Notched cuff: this technique is used to create sharp corners and Vs and can be applied to many other design aspects of a garment

Learning outcomes:

Students will gain an understanding of intermediate techniques which will enhance their ability to complete more complex projects on their own at home.  This course is designed to build on skills learned in Intro To Sewing and to increase confidence in students’ abilities on the machine.
