SEWING DIVISIONS
Sewing and Textiles Project Interview (required)
SEWING LEVEL 1
Level 1 members are encouraged to choose patterns and fabric that are within their skill range. A well-done project that is simple is better than a more difficult project that does not meet sewing standards; however, members will NOT be penalized for choosing more difficult projects, if they are sewn well.
