Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very easy to follow and informative! This is a wonderful class that taught me more in each segment than I learned in my last few decades of occasional sewing. Each section is very detailed, using examples and walking the viewer through each stage of the construction. I had always been confused about linings and facings but now feel a lot more confident. I fully expect that I will re-watch each of these until I am proficient at it. Thank you for a very good class!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A much-needed review! I just returned to 'jacket sewing' during the Covid lockdowns (what an unnecessary waste of time!), after several years of making elaborate doll clothes. Going over the new products; showing step-by-step instructions for garment facings, interfacings, and linings; and offering new (to me) techniques: these are the things I appreciated most about this course. Thank you so much!

About

Linda Lee

When asked why I sew, I try to describe the feeling that I get when I am squirreled away in my sewing room, sometimes late into the night, with the rest of the world tuned out. It’s me and the cloth and the rhythm and hum of my sewing machine. It’s play time in the truest sense.

Linda Lee has loved fabric for as long as she can remember, so it's no surprise that she's spent her career working in fashion and interior design. She’s the owner of The Sewing Workshop Pattern Collection, where adventurous sewers can find patterns for distinctive garments created with innovative techniques. She has written several sewing books and contributed to magazines including Threads and Sew News. Linda has also appeared as the sewing expert for segments on HGTV's Today at Home and Our Home, as well as Sew It All, It's Sew Easy and Sewing With Nancy.
