As a beginner, this was too much for me. This should have been an easy class, using cotton fabric and a zipper. This class is for someone who is an intermediate or advance.

Simple and straightforward. All I wanted to see was how to sew a zippered bag so I skipped all the printing chapters; the remaining content was perfect. Thank you!
