Student Progress
Students progress through a series of 1-3 Levels. Each level generally takes the student one full school year (Sept.-May) to complete. Clothing and craft projects are taught to give the student a well rounded knowledge of sewing. Craft projects (not shown) may also be offered to the student throughout the year based upon her/his interests. I encourage creativity through many sewing projects and having fun at the same time!
