In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about classes—what to expect as a student taking a sewing or other making class, and what to expect as a teacher. I’ll also talk briefly about how to start a side hustle or even a career as a teacher, if that is something you’d like to do. I’m drawing on years of experience teaching knitting at venues such as Stitches and Knitting Guild of America conferences as well as my current experience teaching sewing and fitting classes regionally.
