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 and centered zippers
Sew a structured waistband
Set in a sleeve with confidence
Understand construction order for intermediate garments
Tackle a more complex sewing pattern with support
