Read MoreJulie is an excellent teacher. She is very detailed in her instructions and always explains why each seemingly inconsequential step is important. I am new to sewing, and knew very little about fabrics, threads, and other essentials that go into making a garment look professional. I feel like I have gained so much general knowledge. I can’t go into a store now without turning garments over and looking at the fiber content, seam finishes, and other techniques used. What fun! And to cap it all off, my first ever garment, the Dolly blouse, turned out beautifully. Thank you, Julie!
