    The class was excellent. The professor exceeded my expectations for what a beginner Fabrics class would entail. Glad there are professors and organizations/colleges such as FIT offering these classes.

  • Fabrics 101

    I loved the class! The teacher was very knowledgeable about the topic and did a great job explaining the material. The course was scheduled for three hours and ended early which is why I took away one star. It was so interesting that I wish it lasted longer! :)
  • Fabrics 101

    This class was a good basic class. I think it was more geared towards designers and home sewers as we discussed a lot of the ways to construct fabric, instead of the properties of the fabric itself, which i was I was looking for.
  • Fabrics 101

    Speaker was great, professional, and very informative. Her teaching style was very clear and direct. She was very generous with her time in answering questions and providing helpful tips.
