Swimwear: Private Lessons

During four hours of private swimwear lessons, you will learn how to cut and sew a swimsuit based on your size/measurements. We will go over different sewing techniques suitable for swimwear fabrics as well as make slight alterations to a pattern to really personalize the sit. Students can select their own swimwear pattern or we can provide recommendations in advance. If additional instruction is needed we can schedule as needed.

For questions, or to compare schedules in advance of purchasing these private lessons, please email us at [email protected] with SWIMWEAR in the subject line.
