I’d like to improve my invisible zips… I dont have the right foot so they are always close but not perfect. I’d also like to do more garments from my own designs. It was good to have the challenge as a push to make a start.
Varna Nolen

I’d like to learn how to better install zippers and how to do buttons on a garment. Also, I could use more tips on how to make sure the insides of my garment look just as good as the outside!
April
I would love to learn how to make clothes that fit me. So I have measured myself, picked what I think is the correct pattern size and sewed my little heart out only to have the garment not fit properly. Grrrr.

Closures for sure and pattern grading. I hate zippers and I’m not really confident with buttonholes either. I don’t sew for myself because I’m not comfortable with pattern grading.
Nicole
I want to learn how to work with different fabrics. Knit, silk, etc…
I want to improve working with more patterns.

Pattern Making!!! I love drafting my own stuff but it’s always a one & done or one size kind of thing. I’d love to know how to do this on a level that I can reuse & share my creations!

The skill I desperately need to learn asap is how to fix the timing on my serger. 🤣 And how to sew a better button hole on my non automatic sewing machine.
Ashley
I would love to learn more about my serger. I was so scared to take it out of the box for a long time. I then sat with my book and YouTube and learned it. I would love to get better aquatinted with it though. I would also love to learn more drafting skills!

I’d Love to learn to draft a pattern, I can see what patterns I want to make, so to be able to draft that would be amazing.
Katie
I’d love to learn pattern making so I have an understanding of the fundamentals to be able to easily diagnose and fix fit issues I have with my personal body shape. It would be amazing to be able to feel comfortable in the clothes I wear.
Deborah Devine
I would love to sew more athletic wear and be comfortable with using a coverstitch machine.

I’ve never sewn an invisible zipper, and that would be fun to learn.

I’d like to learn how to adapt patterns to my body. I’m short and a tad wide in the hips. I don’t feel confident in blending and even measuring when it comes tot myself.
Marian Beskosty
I haven’t sewn clothes in ages (19 1/2 years) but would like to get back into it. I would like to find the patience and learn how to alter a pattern so it would fit my very curvy, short body. And also maybe learn to paper piece.
heather kuhl
I would love to get better at making swimsuits. It’s so hard to find one that fits that I can afford but mine always turn out wonkey.
