How do video lessons work?

8 April 2020 by Danielle Leave a Comment

Private video lessonPerhaps you have seen that we are offering private video lessons  and you are wondered how video lessons could work for you?

Here is the start of a lesson plan developed for a student making a pair of pants:

Lesson 1 (60 minutes)
  • taking measurementsIroning in front of window
  • selecting size
  • identifying the pattern pieces to cut out

Homework – cutting out pattern pieces and preparing fabric.

Lesson 2 (60 minutes)
  • folding fabric
  • placing down pattern pieces
  • discussing cutting technique and pattern markings

Homework – cutting out fabric

Lesson 3 (60 minutes)

  • fusing interfacingShelving close by
  • discussing finishing options
  • how to thread machine
  • making machine adjustments and stitching remnants to check settings

Homework – finishing identified edges

etc…

This student has sent through the details of their pattern and they’d like 60 minute video lessons held daily.

When would you like to learn?

Depending on how much time you have and how regularly you would like your lessons, they could be: one a day, one a week, or even one in the morning and one in the afternoon to really smash out a project!
