You'll be great at this class! You're so creative. I remember my sewing/home-ec class. We had to choose a simple pattern, fabric, notions and tools. The pattern had to include a zipper, curves, darts, at least one pocket and one button or hook and eye. I think I still have the pattern.
Let me (us) know if you need anything. I'm sure there are plenty of extras laying around out here.
Good Luck! Have fun!
