Intermediate Sewing Course
6 sessions – 3 hours each
Recommended for grads of Learn to Sew or confident beginners
Ready to level up your sewing? This intermediate course is designed to sharpen your technical skills and help you tackle more complex garments — with guidance every step of the way.
We’ll begin by building a set of technique samples, including zippers, waistbands, and set-in sleeves, so you feel confident going into your next project. Then, you’ll choose a garment from our Chenko Studios project catalog to bring to life — applying what you've learned in a hands-on, personalized way.
This course is perfect for anyone who can confidently thread a machine and sew a basic garment, and wants to take things further.

Insert invisible, closed-end, and open-end zippers

Set in a sleeve with confidence
