We will go through all the pattern markings, how to lay out your pattern pieces correctly, read the instructions and go over sewing terms together so we understand the abbreviations.
We will also go over the different methods of marking fabrics where needed and the various tools you can use.
If we have time, we will sew up some samples of garment elements so in the next class, Beginning Sewing, students have a handle on how to assemble the garment.
