Hi everyone!

Stitched sewing techniques, how-to, and more
By: Heather Clark and Catherine Hay

Within the fashion, sewing, and textile classrooms it is a challenge to find a textbook on
the topic of sewing that covers the range of skills and techniques taught within these
learning spaces. Typically to supplement student learning, handouts will be utilized along
with in-class, and in-person demos. The open-source and online format of this OER will
enable educators to continually update the resource to meet current student needs,
learning outcomes, and reflect best practices within the apparel and fashion industry.
Content in this OER supports skills and knowledge learned within the classroom while
providing supportive resources for learners. This open-source learning resource contains
details and step-by-step instructions, supported with images, videos, and text.
This resource will be continually worked on, with videos, text, and information being
added. The vision for this resource is to provide learning resources to the sewing
community – an array of learners, with multiple ways of ‘how-to’.
