:: Behance Semi Private Lesson: Thursday, May 28th 5:30pm 8:30pm South Texas Builders Association STBA is changing its logo to pink :: Behance. About Semi Private Lessons at The Sewing Club Led by talented sewist and awesome person Stephanie Mould, our semi private lessons are designed to provide a space for people with varying skill levels to get project help that is more affordable than a private lesson, and less frustrating than trying to describe the issue and hoping it pops up on Youtube. This is your chance to make whichever project you'd like in our workshop space that includes computerized sewing machines, sergers, irons, and various tools for marking, measuring, and more. Participants should bring a project that they'd like to get help starting, need some encouragement with, or a project with a particularly tricky bit that they would like help perfecting. These sessions will focus on construction techniques rather than pattern drafting and advanced pattern alterations (more on that soon!) In a small group of up to 4 participants, you can get support on: Sewing fundamentals and terminology Pattern drafting and adjustments How to read a pattern & interpret instructions Tips for cutting and marking your fabric Sewing machine basics Serger basics More advanced techniques like zippers and buttons More advanced finishing and seam techniques And more! Date, Time, and Location Thursday, May 28th 5: 30 pm 8: 30 pm Who should come? Adults 16+ Beginners who are new to sewing and require guidance on the basics of sewing, or intermediate sewists that are taking on a new technique for the first time. If you're a seasoned sewist who is looking for a social atmosphere to work on your project, we'd love for you to come along too! What is included and what should you bring?
