Have you completed our Beginner Basics Course and looking to continue your Sewing Adventures?

Have you got solid skills, mastered the basics, but want to learn more?  

Want to start to learn to make your own clothes using stretch fabric?

Need to discover knit and stretch sewing?

Our Beginner Stretch Course will expand your sewing skills with new and fun projects. Learn more about working with pdf patterns, start using new fabrics, , learn about the love of knits and refresh your beginner learning lessons.  Our Beginner Stretch  Wardrobe has a strong clothing focus where you learn to create and sew clothes for you!

This class is not a fitting class BUT we have chosen patterns that are very inclusive and cover XXS to 5XL.  We can only assist with small pattern changes and grading between sizes.  We will say that stretch sewing is much more forgiving than woven!

An overlocker is not essential but will give you the best finish - you need to have completed an overlocker class to use one in this course.  If using a standard sewing machine then a walking foot is preferred to achieve a quality finish.

• Toronto Tee from Rebecca Page (XXS-5XL)
