Christine R.Reviewed on 07/21/17I really liked this class! I took it as a refresher so I can start hemming clothes, especially dresses myself. The teacher is very casual and easy to learn from. She's thorough explaining and demonstrating what she's doing/how to do something and gives helpful tips throughout the class to specify to what you want to do in the future. Classes are small so you get a lot of attention as you're learning too.
