Learn to make from home or online?

Once you have found your ideal teacher, you will have to ask yourself this question: where to take sewing classes? Although most teachers teach in schools or  ateliers , there are two other options for learning to sew :

• See sewing classes on the Internet;
• take private classes without having it at your home.

The safest thing is that at home you do not have any sewing machine,  overlocker , presser foot … It will not be very likely that you will find a private teacher who moves with one of these devices in his briefcase. Therefore, keep in mind that you will have to be well equipped to teach without leaving home , either through private classes or online.

The good thing about doing it from home is that even a beginner can learn which is the best sewing machine, even remotely, as well as learn to chop, thread, knit, knit, etc.

To get an idea, on the internet you can find some YouTube channels for sewing lovers.

For example, Fashion Riot is a perfect channel since this young Mexican fashion designer will offer you very useful practical tips to put them into practice. You can even learn to draw your own fashion illustrations, design, create accessories, combine your clothes …

El Baúl de las Costuras is a perfect channel for making garments since on its website ( www.elbauldelacosturera.com ) it offers you different patterns completely free.

In Secret Sewing you will find videos and tutorials to get started in sewing and cutting and making. If you are interested in learning to embroider, you can also find an embroidery course on this channel. It also offers videos to make DIY clothes, original bags and to sew lingerie.

I am looking forward to connecting to the internet again to continue my online sewing classes with my favorite designer (Anna). She learned to sew a long time ago with an old mechanical sewing machine. It has many tips and tricks to teach, about the type of fabric to use for certain garments, about where to find free patterns, and more. And all without leaving my living room (in which I have put a board of creative ideas).
