In Learn to Sew I, you’ll start from the very beginning: threading the machine, sewing straight seams, and building lasting confidence with hands-on guidance and encouragement.

Then in Learn to Sew II, you’ll take the next step with your first commercial pattern — learning to read, cut, and sew it with confidence.
