THE BASICS SEWING SERIES is a 6 project online course that teaches you the basic skills you need to make anything you want.

These 6 basic projects will teach you the essentials and you will be able to sew anything. You'll develop the habits and learn the skills that are the foundation of all garment construction. I teach every lesson in simple language you can understand, so whether you've never touched a sewing machine or are simply looking to sharpen your skills, you will feel completely confident sewing and creating garments that you are deeply proud of.
