Sewing 101: Sewing Foundations: Core Techniques3 Hours | The Design Studio at Boho Fabrics
Ages 16+


Ready to move beyond simply sewing a straight seam and actually understand how sewing works? If your ultimate goal is to take our advanced garment and pattern making courses, start here.

Sewing 101 is a four-session foundational course designed for beginners who already know basic machine operation—meaning you can thread your machine, sew a seam, and aren’t afraid to touch the tension dial anymore (or at least, not as afraid!).

How we differ from other programs: Instead of racing through a pile of trendy, one-off projects, this course is designed to build a rock-solid foundation from the ground up. Emily, the founder of Boho Fabrics, created this specific curriculum with an "apparel-first" approach. As Emily describes it: "This is the comprehensive beginner course I wish had been available when I first started sewing."

In this 4-week series, you won't just learn the fundamentals. We also teach the professional techniques and insider methods that make future projects easier, cleaner, and a lot less frustrating. We teach both the technique and the “why” behind it, and we will walk through building a physical technique portfolio for you to reference for years to come.

Throughout the course, students will learn:
  • Fabric handling and cutting fundamentals
  • Construction basics and professional seam finishes
  • How to improve accuracy and consistency
  • Troubleshooting common sewing issues
  • Foundational skills that apply directly to garments, pattern making, and draping
Please note: This class is only offered a few times a year. Because this course is the absolute best way to level up your skills with established techniques, Sewing 101 is a required prerequisite before taking our other highly sought-after courses, such as Apparel Sewing, Pattern Making, and Draping.

 

*To help create the best classroom experience possible, a minimum of 3 students is required for class to run. If minimum enrollment is not met, students will be notified in advance and may transfer to another session or receive a refund/store credit.

FAQ'S

Are your fabrics sold by the yard or half yard?

Everything's sold by the yard with a few exceptions.  Certain Ribbing & Quilting Cottons are sold by the half yard (but this is stated in the title). 

What is your order processing time?

As of Feb 20th, we're zipping through orders in 2-4 business days! 🚀 Please be patient with fabric bundles though, these do take us just a little be longer since they are curated specially for you.

Just a heads up, though - during the holiday frenzy or after a mega sale like Black Friday, it might take up to 10 business days. We're on it, though, aiming to get those gorgeous fabrics in your hands within 5 days!

Do you Combine Shipping?

Absolutely! Place any orders within 3 business days of each other, and we'll snug them together. If they're further apart, just shoot us an email at bohofabrics@gmail.com, and we'll see what we can do. Any shipping overages will come back to you as a Boho Giftcard. 🎁

Do you Refund Shipping Overages?

Great News!  We now offer FREE SHIPPING for all orders over $175 within the Contiguous USA!  If your order is less than $175, we offer flat rate shipping for $12.95.  Due to our new Flat Rate Shipping policy, we do not refund shipping overages.  

Can I cancel my order?

You bet, as long as we haven't printed that shipping label. We'll refund your order minus a 5% fee.

How much is Shipping?

For orders over $175, shipping's on us within the Contiguous USA! Orders under $175 have a flat rate of $12.95. Really big orders might need to bypass PO Boxes and head straight to a traditional address via UPS or FedEx.

*Excludes Shipping to PO Boxes, Alaska, Hawaii & Puerto Rico. Shipping overages will be invoiced to customers for packages being shipped to those regions.

What is your Return Policy?

Gotcha covered! If the fabric isn't quite what you envisioned, send it back within 14 days of receiving it, uncut and unwashed, for a refund

Please note that shipping costs are non-refundable as this is a cost incurred and not refunded to us by the carriers.

We recommend obtaining tracking for any returns you send as well as sending us an email so that we can be on alert for the package (and to process your return faster!)

Please send returns to:

Boho Fabrics LLC

Of course!  Select Pick-Up at check-out and we will send you an email/pick-up notification once it's ready.

Do you offer International Shipping?

Worldwide, baby! 🌍 Email us for a quote. It's a bit pricier, but we'll make sure you get the best rate possible. Just a note: Special deals including shipping might have extra charges for international orders.
