Sewing your own clothes in 1-2-3 - Partner Email

Learn to Sew Clothes You’ll Love Fill your closet with well-fitting garments, sewn by you! Hi, I’m sewing teacher, author and award-winning designer Sharon Czachor. In my online Craftsy class, Sew for Yourself: Fit & Fashion Essentials, we’ll upgrade your sewing skills to help you make clothes you’re proud to wear. In these video lessons, you’ll learn how to expertly sew and finish flawless fashions. And because you're learning with Craftsy, you can ask me questions along the way and join discussions with other students.   I’ll start class by helping you take accurate measurements so you can choose the best pattern size. Then I’ll show you how to work with multi-size patterns and choose combinations of styles and fabrics for expert results. In lesson two we’ll move on to tissue-fitting sewing patterns. I’ll show you how to make basic adjustments including lengthening or shortening garments and lowering your bust darts. Next I’ll walk you through the layout, cutting and marking stages of sewing clothes, and I’ll share some tips for choosing and using fusible interfacing.   In lesson four I’ll reveal my favorite bulk-free seam finishes, how to sew a beautiful hem by hand or machine, and how to do edgestitching on your bias neckline. Then I’ll cover the basics of sewing darts, pressing darts and setting in sleeves in lesson five. Last you’ll learn how to install a lapped zipper—an element that give dresses and pants a flawless finish. We’ll wrap Sew for Yourself: Fit & Fashion Essentials with creative ways to change up patterns for new designs.   In addition to being an award-winning fashion designer, I am also co-author of Professional Sewing Techniques for Designers and author of Sewing with Knits and Stretch Fabrics. I am also an adjunct faculty instructor at Harper College’s fashion studies department where I taught for 13 years. When I’m not teaching my granddaughters to sew, I love creating special-occasion dresses and tailored coats for them to wear. Bringing my expertise to even more sewing enthusiasts through Craftsy is so exciting! I invite you to join me as I walk you through the essentials for creating garments you’ll want to wear!
