How Our Classes Work

Our classes are group-based, but each student follows a personal learning journey. Your program is adapted to your level, goals, and pace, so everyone progresses differently.

Because of this, the number of sessions needed can vary β€” we focus on skill development rather than a fixed timeline.

βœ‚οΈ Personalized Learning in a Group Setting

You can choose what you want to focus on, such as clothing, bags, or specific sewing techniques.

While everyone works in the same studio, each student receives individual guidance based on their project and level. This allows you to learn independently while still getting support when needed.

⏳ Session Length & Structure

Session length depends on group size:

  • 1 student β†’ 45 minutes
  • 2–3 students β†’ 1.5 hours
  • 4 students β†’ 2 hours
  • 5 students β†’ 2.5 hours

This structure ensures everyone receives enough personal guidance and hands-on time.

✨ Extra Time (Optional)

You're welcome to stay after class to finish the project you worked on during the lesson.

This time is only for wrapping up your class-related work β€” not for starting new or unrelated personal projects.

Please note: this is independent time, so no instruction is provided during this period.

πŸ’¬ Learning Flow & Questions

To make the most of your class time, please avoid too many off-topic or unrelated questions during the session, as this can interrupt the flow and reduce your hands-on learning time.

If you still have questions, you're very welcome to ask after the lesson so we can keep a smooth learning flow during class.

πŸͺ‘ Where to Start

Most students begin with a few Entry-Level lessons to build a strong foundation:

  • Using the sewing machine safely and confidently
  • Understanding basic fabrics and tools
  • Completing a simple first project

If you already have sewing experience, you can start directly at Basic level.

πŸ“ˆ Typical Learning Progress

Most students who want to make their own clothes reach a basic level after around 4–5 lessons.

At this stage, you can:

  • Understand basic garment construction
  • Make a simple blouse with your own measurements

From here, you can:

  • Continue at Basic level
  • Or move into Intermediate and Advanced techniques
