This is a beginner-friendly class, though some sewing machine experience will help. In this class, students will:
- Learn to interpret sewing patterns
- Learn alteration and pattern drafting techniques: gathering, flare, or fitting adjustments
- Learn about different fabrics and how they affect final products
- Learn to change sewing machine feet and needles
- Learn to put in a zipper (as needed)
- Leave with a unique me-made garment of your design!
- Make friends and community of like-minded crafters
Emily Hermann is a fiber artist, writer, teacher, and sustainability professional. She explores themes of devotion, truth, love, and creative re-use of materials through her art. Self-taught through YouTube videos, Emily began her sewing journey with thrift-flips, upcycling, and self-drafting garments in 2021. While she dabbles in other art forms (i.e., knitting, print-making, ceramics, embroidery, poetry writing, and drawing), sewing remains her favorite form of creative expression. She’s been teaching sewing classes at the Arts League since Spring 2024.
