ABOUT THE COURSE
Where beginner skills become real garments.
Sewing 102 is the natural next step after Sewing 101. This intermediate course moves beyond foundational techniques and into full garment construction. Over six sessions, students will draft a custom bodice sloper from their own measurements, construct a skirt, and combine both into a finished dress with set sleeves. You leave with a garment you made from scratch — and the pattern knowledge to make it again.

All industrial sewing machines are provided by the studio. Students are responsible for muslin fabric for the mock-up fitting stage, fashion fabric for the final garment, and basic tools (scissors, measuring tape, pins). A complete materials list with fabric recommendations and estimated yardage is provided upon registration.

You will be working on professional-grade industrial equipment. All students must follow the step-by-step safety guidance provided by the instructor at all times throughout the course. A standard liability waiver is signed at the first session.
