Description

In this course, students will learn how clothing should fit and how to practice good craftsmanship before constructing and tailoring their own clothing by machine and by hand. Students will learn about various materials and how to properly use a sewing machine and patterns. This course teaches lifelong sewing skills, advances independence, and encourages expression of individuality through fashion. Students will make clothing they can take home and wear.

This course is for adults and teens. Students ages 13-17 must be registered to take the course with a parent or guardian and must be accompanied by the parent or guardian at each session. The student and guardian must also sign a Blanket Authorization Form. You can fill out the form by clicking here. This will also be sent in an email a week before the course begins and must be completed before the first session.

Due to demand, we have opened this second section of Community: Sewing Everyday Wear. Students are not required to have taken Series 1 earlier in the spring before taking Series 2. This is another section of the same course.

Required Materials: Sewing kit, a pattern ( ex: button-up shirt, pants, dress), and any zippers, buttons, or hook and eyes you may need (which are determined on the back of your pattern). You will also need to bring in fabric (check the back of pattern for fabric type and length requirements). The AAC has fabric available for the class, but we might not have your exact preference or required quantity available. Sewing machines and thread are provided, but if you’d prefer, you can bring in your own sewing machine for class sessions.

You do not have to purchase the exact products nor from the same site in the linked examples. The Art Academy of Cincinnati is not sponsored by Amazon or Jo-Ann Stores.
