Adult and Community Education Class Description
Sew-it-All classes begin every 5 to 8 weeks and go year around. Classes are taught "open lab" style with students completing projects of their choice. Sew-it-All is perfect for the novice or continuing student, as each person learns at their appropriate pace. It is also a great way to schedule sewing time into your week!

Alicia's Project Recommendations for Beginners
In general, patterns labeled "easy," "quick," "2-hour," or something similar are best for beginners. Patterns with fewer pieces will go together easier.
New Look Patterns(tm) are very beginner friendly! Try to avoid Vogue(tm) or Burda(tm) patterns for your first project.
Skirt with darts and a zipper
Pajama pants
Shorts
Un-lined jacket
Home decorator pillows
Tote bag
