Have you wanted to learn how to make your own garments but don't know where to start? Learn to sew in a fun and creative environment with The Fashion Ration! Students will get lots of one-on-one attention with class size limited to five students.
Each class is designed to teach you essential skills and each class builds on the previous classes, but can also be taken as stand alone classes. Over the course of five weeks, learn the basics of garment construction from getting started with a sewing machine to inserting a zipper. You'll learn how to build a simple and beautiful handmade wardrobe with these five indispensable garments.
These classes are BYOSM (Bring Your Own Sewing Machine). If you do not have a machine but want to participate, please contact The Fashion Ration and we will do our best to make accommodations.
