Adult students learn how to sew progressively in 7-levels with the easy You Can Make It® program.
At Making It SewFun, all aspects of sewing are taught, from foundational sewing skills in Level 1 to tailoring in Level 7. We'll also teach you how to "fit" by customizing any sewing pattern based on your body measurements and figure type. Your skill level and knowledge will grow as you advance through the program with each project, which will increase in complexity. Students will be considered experienced sewists by the time Level 7 has been completed.
Students may join at any level with teacher approval. However, it is recommended that most begin with Level 1, designed for beginners or students needing a refresher. Experienced sewists can also enroll in "Open Sewing" classes, where they will receive expert advice and direction on any sewing project they choose.
