When I first learned how to sew in middle school, I was frustrated by the process. And it wasn’t until many years later, after taking a basic pattern drafting class with Cal Patch, that something clicked. I started sewing and haven’t stopped. For over ten years, I’ve taught countless others how to make garments, too, even …
