Suite 3 is the ultimate beginner crescendo.

Learn to sew curved seams with confidence (crotch and side seams).
Install and encase elastic waistbands.
Align pieces symmetrically for proper fit.
First true wearable piece: massive confidence boost
At the end of Sewing Suite 3, each student walks away in shorts they made themselves and the boldness to enter the Sample Studio Level.

Learn to:
Install a functioning ¼ zipper

Your sewing journey is personal and your goal drives the lesson. We take our lead from what you want to achieve, making each session fully tailored to you.
Flexible pace: build confidence, refine skills, or work on a specific fashion idea.
Be done in just one short session, or book multiple to continue a larger project.
This session may be a one-off, or repeated when ever you need it.
