Buon corso per iniziare.
Piuttosto chiaro nella spiegazione della maggior parte dei punti chiave, teorici e pratici. Tuttavia, ho riscontrato difficoltà nella parte delle cuciture finali, che non sono, a mio parere, spiegate dettagliatamente, né le inquadrature dei video sono di grande aiuto. Difatti, le cuciture sono spiegate un po' grossolanamente, dando forse per scontato che le persone abbiano conoscenze base di cucito.
Inoltre, migliorerei il grado di assistenza fornita.
