Sewing 103 is structured, skill-driven, and technique-focused. This intermediate four-week series is designed for students who have completed Sewing 101 and 102 and are ready to deepen their garment construction knowledge through professional finishing techniques and pattern development.
Throughout this series, students refine precision and craftsmanship by working in muslin to master technical details before applying them to finished garments. Skills include constructing corners, standard pockets, ruffles, welt pockets, pleats (box, knife, and inverted), invisible zippers, and set-in zippers. Students also complete any remaining garment details from prior coursework to ensure mastery and portfolio readiness.
As the course progresses, students draft and create their own shorts pattern, cut fabric, construct seams, build a structured waistband, insert elastic and ribbon ties, and complete a professional hem finish. When time allows, students expand their skill set by incorporating pocket construction into their final garment.
This series emphasizes technique repetition, garment accuracy, and elevated finishing methods — preparing students for more independent pattern development and advanced design work.
With intentionally small cohorts, each student receives personalized instruction while strengthening confidence, craftsmanship, and technical fluency. Sewing 103 builds upon foundational skills and moves students toward thoughtful, independent garment construction.
