Adult Classes
These Sessions are open to Teenagers/Adults (age 15 and up). They are 1.5
hours in length once a week. Cost: $125, including pattern workbook. Each
Session is a 6-week commitment class. A deposit of $60 (non-refundable) is
required upon registration. Balance ($65) is paid on first day of class. First time
students or those with no sewing experience will use the "Adult Beginner Activity
Packet", a Curriculum of the Kids Can Sew and Fashion Design Schools, and

you've completed several projects from the workbook, you may try working on an
easy commercial pattern. For ideas on easy patterns visit: Simplicity Patterns.
