Here's your opportunity to fulfill the ultimate sewing fantasy! Say Good-bye to the trial and error method of fitting. Let Sandra take an accurate set of your measurements. Be individually fitted by Sandra to determine your personal 'fit formula'. Find out what pattern size is right for you and how to adjust any pattern using your ‘fit formula.’ Now you can cut into your expensive fabric with confidence. Liberate your bulging closets of fabrics you're afraid to cut into. Sandra will help you in choosing a flattering style. Master combining patterns to get the exact look you desire. Learn time-saving techniques that give you professional looking results. Try on a plethora of garments from Sandra's wardrobe (most have current pattern numbers). Seize the opportunity to inspect Sandra's garments and ask questions. Uncover tips on great patterns. Learn to handle a variety of fabrics under the needle and under the iron. Because the class size is limited to 10, Sandra takes sewers of all levels from rank beginner to extremely advanced. If fitting is your nemesis, bring a bolt of muslin and lots of patterns. Go home with patterns altered just for you. If you own a piece of fabric that intimidates you, bring it along and sew it up here. If you have always wanted jeans that fit, now is your chance. If you just want to relax and have fun, bring any project your heart desires and Sandra will help you over the trouble spots. ‘A full week of sewing instruction matched to my own interests and needs, plus being with other students who love to sew—a dream vacation spot for a sewer!’ -Joyce Jones , Springfield, VA ‘Sandra has a fresh approach and upbeat outlook on life which comes through in all her classes.
