Such neat & careful work, clearly & precisely explained, although it freaked me out that she doesn't hold her threads when starting sewing :D The sleeve insertion video was especially valuable.
A useful thing for beginners would be if teachers used fabric with an obvious right & wrong side. I find the constant visual clue helpful.
Thanks for a great class.

Good teacher. I haven't sewn clothes for a while and this is a good refresher.
