The curriculum is structured to guide learners step-by-step through the sewing process. It begins with Module 1: Knowing Your Sewing Machine, where you’ll learn the key parts and how to use them effectively. This is followed by Module 2, which introduces various sewing machine types so that you can choose the one that suits your work best.

Module 3 covers essential sewing supplies, including needles, threads, scissors, pins, and measuring tools. In Module 4, you will explore different types of threads, their strength, elasticity, and appropriate usage. Module 5 builds your confidence in working with fabric and applying basic stitches used in garment making and repairs.

In Module 6, you will explore how to read and apply sewing patterns, and Module 7 focuses on preparation techniques like cutting and marking fabric. Module 8 then teaches you how to sew a seam correctly for different garments. Module 9 gives insight into hand sewing techniques, which are still widely used in finishing garments.

Moving forward, Module 10 focuses on hemming, while Module 11 offers practical advice on sewing machine upkeep. Finally, Modules 12 and 13 walk you through sewing two specific projects: a basic t-shirt and a baby blanket, which lets you apply your skills in full.
