This was such a fun class and I felt so confident once I finished the box zip bag! I just bought the class last week and I've already finished two larges. I had been wanting to learn how to sew a zipper for a while and this class was a perfect choice. I love the instructor, she's easy to follow and doesn't use weird, hard to understand terms. And she defines things that might be unknown. THANK YOU, SHAERIE!

I haven't sewed since I was a kid so this was a great refresher! She is a good instructor, clear and concise.

I'm a brand new sewer and this was extremely easy to follow. The tips (like the blue tape tip) were very helpful!
