I've made a few things from tutorials on this site but I'm still a beginner. I tried this class because I wanted to learn how to make the raglan sleeve. I watched it multiple times and still don't know how to attach the different pieces to make a finished sleeve.
It may have been more confusing to me since I was using muslin just for practice and maybe I was attaching the different pieces to the wrong sides or something like that.
I think if you showed the pieces being put together in more detail and put the camera on that more comprehensively it would help.
Reading the reviews it seems that it is a good class for people with more experience than I have but I found it quite frustrating.

I could have sworn this was marked as advanced beginner. But now I see it says intermediate. If you are really a beginner, like me, this will be a huge stretch. There is a lot of assumed knowledge and terminology. That neckline brought me to tears. I made a lovely blouse in the end (Pic in gallery) and will probably have another go, but wanted to leave a warning for other ambitious newbies. Good luck!
