How it works
Ask first, enroll second
Most schools sell you a seat and hope it was the right one. Gladys would rather spend two messages working out what you actually want before anybody pays for anything.
The short version
Four things worth knowing before you write in
- Online, live with Gladys
- You are not buying a folder of videos. The classes are taught, which means you can hold something up to the camera and ask why it is puckering.
- You work on your own machine
- Whatever you have. Part of the point is that you finish knowing your machine rather than a borrowed one.
- Start from nothing
- The beginner class assumes no experience at all. Not “a little rusty” — none.
- Ask before you enroll
- There is no cart. You say what you want to learn, she tells you which class fits and what it costs.
How you get in
There is no shopping cart. You tell her what you want.
Gladys matches the class to the person, which is hard to do through a checkout page and easy to do in two messages.
Beginner sewing, alterations, or something specific you have in mind. One short message is enough.
Gladys reads these. She will tell you which class fits, what it costs and when the next one runs.
From your own machine, at your own table. You do not have to live in Texas and you do not have to own anything fancy.
A fair warning
This is a skill, not a weekend
You will be able to hem a pair of trousers properly sooner than you think. You will not be a tailor by Friday, and anybody telling you otherwise is selling something.
What you get is the part that compounds: once a straight seam stops being difficult, everything after it is a variation. That is the point at which the wardrobe you already own starts looking like material instead of a problem.
