The course will cover various topics such as reading clothing patterns, preparing fabric, inserting a zipper, and other technical skills that are essential for sewing.

Throughout the course, students will learn to make a quilted pin cushion, tote bag, zippered pouch, and personalized pajama pants/shorts with pockets and a drawstring. These projects will help students apply the skills they have learned in the course and prepare them for their sewing journey.

  • CLASS INFORMATION: 

    What to Wear: Art gets messy, so wear clothing suitable for an artist! It sometimes gets chilly in the studios, so an extra layer is recommended.

    What to Bring: Sawtooth will provide all materials and supplies needed for class. Students are welcome to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated and a snack to be eaten during a break.


    While parents and guardians are more than welcome to stay in the building, we kindly ask that you don't stay with your children during the class. We've found that this can sometimes hinder the creative process. 


    Parking: Lastly, metered parking is available on Marshall and Spruce Street and is free on evenings and weekends.

    Please note that face coverings are now optional on Sawtooth's campus, including in all studios. We ask that you remain respectful of all students and keep in mind that Sawtooth is an inclusive environment. We want everyone to feel supported, safe, and welcome on campus. They're available at our front desk if you need a disposable mask.

Pachao, Ilyssa

Hi! My name is Ilyssa Pachao, and I recently graduated from Appalachian State’s Apparel Design and Merchandising program with a minor in Theatre Arts. While in school, I developed a love for teaching when I worked as a TA for apparel pattern making and teaching various outdoor recreational sports. In my art, I like to focus on using second-hand materials, natural dyeing, and telling stories through garments.
