Sewing Made Easy, Level 2: The Pattern
The expectations were set from day one, which I greatly appreciated. The instructor was consistently engaging, and weekly updated or advised the students on next courses they could take at LACC. The class atmosphere was welcoming, students supported each other as well. I can’t wait to take another course at LACC! Thank you -

Comfortable set-up, instructor was very informative and hands-on. I learned a lot as a result and signed up for the next course. -
Alterations 1: Hemming
I enjoyed the 5 class session - Hemming at LA City College (LACC). Our instructor Jenine taught different kinds of Hems from standard hem to blind hem, narrow hem, coverstich hem, and jeans hem. The ability to do these Hems are practical skills, which can come in handy when altering new clothes for yourself and family members. It gives you the ability to do hems for free which would cost about $ 85 at the Alteration shop. I plan to take a couple more sewing courses at LACC such as Pattern Making, and Upcycling: The Jeans Tote - on reusing old clothes for new life. I highly recommend taking sewing classes at LACC. -
Sewing Made Easy, Level 1: Beginning

Sewing Made Easy, Level 2: The Pattern
I recommend to prospective learner enrolling in Sewing Made Easy, Level 2 at Los Angeles City College.

Sewing Made Easy, Level 1: Beginning
I highly recommend this "Beginners class To Sewing, Level 1" to someone who wants to learn how to sew at an Intro level. My Instructor - Melissa was very detailed in teaching the basics, and enforces it with hands-on learning with performance in your own sewing machine. I'm looking forward to the sequel of this class, "Beginners class To Sewing, Level 2" and Level 3. -

Beginning Sewing
Overall I thought the workshop was fun and helpful. I’ve never used a sewing machine so I was worried I was going to have difficulties with the machine, but because they give you a breakdown for using the machine, it was so helpful. I was able to do my own projects after this workshop so I’m glad I tried this class. I do wish they had better prints for the bags but it’s not a big deal. -

Sew a Pair of Linen Pants
My instructor was super knowledgeable and creative. We had a great group and I found a community. I was able to foster relationships with the women in my group who offered a diversity of ages and perspectives. I would highly recommend anyone trying this! -
Beginning Sewing
I walked into class clueless about my sewing machine and left confident and knowledgeable about the setup and basic techniques. The instructors are helpful and patient with students as we navigate our first project. Not only that, but everyone gets to take their project home. It was a wonderful first experience. -
Beginning Sewing
The class was actually super informative. Learned a lot. It was my first sewing class ever and loved it. Both teachers were patient and willing to help and made sure we understood everything . Definitely willl be back -
Intermediate Sewing
Friendly and very patient instructor, big facility with cutting table and sewing machine room. I made a Kimono from choosing fabric, to cutting out a pattern, to sewing and trimming. I was even introduced to a Serger machine for detailed lining finish. As a novice sewer, I was so impressed and satisfied with what I learned, that I will definitely be back for sewing lab or project work. -
Sewing Made Easy, Level 2: The Pattern
I absolutely enjoyed Sewing Level 2. Melissa was so patient and helpful, she made the course material extremely easy to digest and easy to follow along. It's a lot of information but super straightforward and fun. A great foundation to start your sewing journey! -

Sewing Made Easy
Melissa Walker is such a fantastic teacher. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things sewing, she's funny, and she made the classes a joy to come to each week. -
Sewing Made Easy
The teacher was very knowledgeable and explained the concepts very clearly. She was patient, funny and told many interesting stories. I think if I bought my own sewing machine I would know how to start using it right away. -
Sewing Made Easy
the course was really useful and well organized. The teacher, Ashley Trutanich, was amazing, both as a professional and a human being. She was very clear in explaining everything and always ready to help us, answering all our questions and showing us things as many times as we needed. The only downside was the duration. 2 hours didn't feel enough, 3 would have been perfect. I shared this thought with the other attendants and they agreed. When we moved to practice what Ashley was teaching us, we found ourselves in a rush. So basically we wanted more ^^ -
Sewing Made Easy
Sewing Made Easy was a great class. I have some experience with quilting, yet the class presented and reinforced basic sewing skills like basting, running stitch, and backstitch. I learned new stitches for hemming and mending. So the class strengthened and expanded my basic skills. Ashley was excellent about checking in with us to see where we were in terms of pace and if we needed to see something again. The class supplied sewing machines and I was impressed with how a person could show up and really get a good start--and also make a pillow in two classes! That was amazing. Every student had a lovely finished pillow at the end of the last class. Now I'm working on my own pillow project that is more complicated and Sewing Made Easy serves as a source of inspiration. -
Introduction to Home Sewing Machine
I took an Introduction to Home Sewing Machine class at CourseHorse. I loved the class and the instructor. The machines were all new and the facility was very clean. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience. -

The instructor Jess was great! All the ladies from French General were wonderful. I had a great time! -
Introduction to Home Serger Machine
This class was exactly what I needed to start using my serger again. It was a great overview on the capabilities of a serger as well as a practical experience with learning how to thread a serger. I would have liked it to include a simple “ make and take” project. However, the two hour class flew by. That’s when I realized I was truly enjoying the class. The next day I started using my serger without any trepidation. -
Beginning Sewing
I loved learning with Haley and D! The studio is at HaleySolar.com !!! The space is SO CUTE and makes you feel right at home! i will definitely be coming back. This class is great for younger teens to adults. I brought my brand new machine in the box and they helped me set it all up! It's a store ran by Haley. She also sometimes has her dog!
