Sewing Classes with Sandra Poirier can take you from threading your first needle to pattern making and garment construction. Préville Online! will provide you with the materials that you’ll need to get started–delivered right to your door!
What You Can Expect From Sandra’s Classes
Beginners will be guided through all necessary basic skills, building confidence in hand stitching, as well as in their understanding of how patterns and projects come to life.
Intermediate and advanced participants who have already acquired basic skills will be able to tackle more complicated projects knowing that help is at hand to work through any little snags that come along. Sandra is ready to share her years of expertise, and can teach you how to measure and design for different body types, cut patterns and troubleshoot issues that may arise at any stage of your project.
All classes are taught LIVE on our easy-to-use platform. Since class sizes are small, Sandra can take the time to address each participant’s individual needs and progress.
