Learn about sewing and fabric selection with Veronica Buitron, an expert educator and fashion designer with years of experience. This hands-on course is perfect for beginners and intermediate sewists looking to refine their skills, plus gain key knowledge on how to select the right fibers and/or fabrics for your creative projects.
Invest in a skill that lasts a lifetime. Learning to sew isn’t just about crafting—it’s about gaining practical, lifelong abilities. Imagine effortlessly altering clothes to fit perfectly, transforming pieces into stylish treasures, or even designing custom garments tailored to your unique style. From simple hems to sleeve adjustments, these skills put you in control of your wardrobe, saving you time, money, and the frustration of ill-fitting clothes. Whether you’re a hobbyist or aspiring designer, sewing gives you the freedom to wear—and create—your way.
Things I can help you with:
- Sewing (hand/machine)
- Mending/upcycling
- Alterations ( hems, adjusting garment sizes, taking in or letting out seams, putting on darts, attaching buttons)
- Fabric Manipulation (tucks, pleats, 3D texture, applique techniques)
- Fabric selection ( understand about fibers, fabrics and fashion trims)
-Learn to touch and read textiles (wovens vs. knits, natural vs. synthetic)
- Find out about the key elements of sustainable fashion (certifications and trademarks)

Veronica is an amazing educator. She knows fibers, dyes, and how to get them to play well with each other. Her depth of knowledge for indigo is incredible! I’ve even asked her to participate in my Beyond the Label - Healthy Fabric Library launch at the Frost Science Museum!!! I learned so much as she was teaching little kids, teens, and parents how to dip cotton fabric strips into indigo dye and then letting the oxygen hit it for the yellow to turn blue.
