I think this was wonderful class. You get to sew multiple projects which is a great experience. I would rate myself a 9 out of 10 because I was always working but I did have a conversation or two during the semester. I learned how to topstitch and make multiple things like shorts, a headphone case, a blanket, and chopstick holders. For the shorts, I would say the difficulty level is medium. I said this because you do need to know how to make a pattern and how to do multiple stitchings.
