Private Lessons
Ready to move beyond the basics? The Skill Builder Package is our immersive private coaching series for students serious about mastering the craft of sewing.
Located in our Ditmas Park, Brooklyn studio, this comprehensive series offers the time and space to dive deep into complex techniques that standard drop-in classes can't cover. With 9 total hours of expert instruction, you will transition from simply operating a machine to understanding the architecture of clothing.
What We Will Cover
-
Pattern Reading: Demystify symbols, grainlines, and layout strategies so you can use commercial patterns with confidence.
-
Garment Construction: Learn the "why" and "how" behind collars, sleeves, zippers, and linings.
-
Professional Finishing: Elevate your work with techniques that make your projects look store-bought, not homemade.
-
