I have been itching to get into a sewing class after trying to self-teach off of YouTube, which just was not working for me at all. Tish is VERY thorough and easy to follow, both in the classroom and through the online videos. Something that was lacking on YouTube.
A great perk about this Hybrid Class Series is that I get the link to the videos forever! The amount of knowledge that Tish presents is outstanding, you are bound to learn something new.
The videos were easy to follow and nice to be able to rewind. It was nice taking the series because it took the guess work out of trying to find where to start with classes. Taking these classes has helped me feel confident being familiar in my machine.
The course was a really good overview of different the tools like needles and fabric types, irons and boards, all those things in your grandma’s sewing box, as well as a variety of real-life examples to demonstrate where these techniques and tools are used. The videos show close-up pictures and videos of the instructor sewing and pressing seams and hems, and are great for busy schedules because you can watch them at your own pace and multiple times to let the me material sink in and become more familiar with all the terms and gadgets you might use while sewing a variety of things.
We're celebrating OVER 10 YEARS of teaching skills-based "home-ec style" sewing classes!
We believe that Happiness is Simple Sewing (HISS), so we designed our classes and class structure to help you avoid common pitfalls of sewing projects.
Our goal is to get you on your way to sewing without hassles, hiccups, or fear of patterns and complex concepts, giving you confidence in your sewing abilities.
We know you can do it! Let us show you how!
