I loved Dawna Baugh. Some of the students found her hard to understand, but they were also the ones who complained and didn't want to do the projects her way from the beginning. I followed along with the power points and the samples she provided and did just fine. She was also very helpful and available.

I love Dr. Baugh! She is the an amazing Professor! Sewing labs are pretty mandatory if you want to accomplish your projects, but you can miss them and make it up in open lab. She really is wonderful! If you get the chance, you should take a class from her!

Dr. Baugh is a sweetie. She was very clear in lecture and gave very simple explinations of the projects. They will grade to perfection, but are willing to offer a lot of help on your projects. You will need to spend some extra time in open labs to finish everything on time. One of the most fun classes I've ever taken!

SHe is a great Professor and teaches very well. Labs are required, the TA's are a little harsh in grading but it's not too big a deal. FUn class, definitely time consuming but you learn great basics:) Great professor overall, Take this class:)

Dr. Baugh is great! She is so friendly and entertaining. I enjoy her sewing classes MUCH more than this one. Maybe taking it once a week for 2.5 hours was just too long? But I dreaded this class every time. It was repetitive and I didn't learn anything new, even though she tried to make it enjoyable! And don't buy the txt book, I never opened it.

Good teacher. She is really helpful. In the labs she comes around and helps everyone. But the grading is harsh. The TA's basically grade on a standard of perfection.

Baugh is a good teacher, but she only does the lectures. Grading is very nit-picky, and tests are based off a bunch of semiuseless facts. The class is also time-consuming. There were so many samples that most of my projects were sewn outside of class, on top of 2-hr labs and 1-hr lecture. Expect to spend a lot of time for a mediocre grade.

I felt like going to the lecture was a waste of time. I just looked at the slides before tests and did fine.

This class was helpful for people who want to learn to sew. It take time but I thought it was worth it. I would not recommend taking it in the spring or summer. As for the TAs the ones I worked with were very nice and helpful. They really care about there students. If you are serious about learning how to sew take this class.

Dr. Baugh is fantastic. She's really helpful and good about working with you if you have a problem. My one WORD OF CAUTION is to get a good TA. Mine was unfriendly, stubborn, and wasn't willing to help if I had a problem. If I had switched into a different lab and gotten a better TA the class would have been a lot better.

Dr. Baugh is the absolute best. She is an amazing seamstress and pattern maker and does an excellent job at helping her students. She is also funny to boot. Her standards are high because they are UNIVERSITY classes and require time and energy. You may have to redo a sample or two, but the point is to learn how to do them correctly.

Dr Baugh is one of my most favorite professors! I sincerely hope I can be just like her when I grow up. Best sense of humor! Keep up and go to class, you'll be fine. It's a labor intensive class, obviously. You can't become a good seamstress without putting time in. Dr Baugh knows her stuff, loves it, and it def shows! It's all about the slides!!!

I LOVE Dr. Baugh. The sewing classes at BYU are tough no matter who you take it from cause its sewing and sewing takes time!!! I put more time into this class than any other class Ive taken at BYU but I also learned SO much. If you have to/want to take this course take it from Dr BAUGH! She makes class enjoyable and she cares about her students! <3

I was a little afraid of taking textiles because I had heard it was very time-intensive. It honestly wasn't that bad. Dr. Baugh made it awesome! She is super hilarious and she really knows her stuff. You still had to work, but things weren't crazy hard. 6 quizzes on reading, midterm, final, swatch test, presentation. I really enjoyed this class!

Such a great class with an AMAZING PROFESSOR! Doctor Baugh makes every class so fun, if you are interested in a future in fashion or design this class is a MUST and Doctor Baugh is such a great mentor to help you along your way! People will say her classes are hard and not going to lie they are but Doctor Baugh will help you every step of the way.

I love Dr. Baugh! She is one of my most favorite professors. She is hilarious, kind, and her lectures are amazing! Class is wonderful and you will learn so much! I am so glad I have taken this class from her. I also took SFL 487 from her as well and I loved that class also!

Dr. Baugh is an amazing teacher! She really cares for her students and will work with you to make sure that you understand everything and will take the time to help you if you need!

If you're going to take a sewing class, take it from Dr Baugh!! Patternmaking is especially cool to learn and you spend a lot less hours in open lab than the other sewing classes. With Dr. Baugh you'll be laughing every class. She's also the best cause shes so willing to help you & she really listens to her students' feedback. 10/10 RECOMMEND HER.

Dr. Baugh is a wonderful professor! She makes learning fun and has a unique sense of humor to brighten up the lecture time. There is a lot of homework and concepts to learn. To get a good grade you need to do a lot of the homework outside of the classroom, which is difficult sometimes because some of it can only be done in the lab.

If you love sewing, you should take this class. Dr. Baugh is a great professor and she is willing to help her students. This class is hard but you will learn a lot.

Dr. Baugh really cares about the students and she knows her stuff! I learned so much in this class. She was able to convey difficult material in a clear manner. She also is very funny and makes the lectures entertaining. Be sure you understand and do the homework. The tests sneak up on you and are killer in you don't know what you're doing.

Like the other ratings have mentioned, Dr. Baugh is fabulous! She knows her stuff and makes difficult processes less intense with her wit and liveliness. I don't think there's one class that you won't laugh or smile. She really believes in her students and will do whatever she can to help you understand the hard stuff.

Patternmaking is the class that I am currently taking from Dr. Baugh, although I have taken Knits and Advanced from her also. She is a great teacher! The environment of her class make you feel like you are all one big family. She is pretty hilarious and keeps things light and funny. Beware of tests though! They are no piece of cake, study hard!

Dr. Baugh is so knowledgable and I can tell that she just loves passing on every bit of information she can! She has high expectations while staying warm and personable. Patternmaking is a lot of work; Knits and Swimwear is fun and flexible.

Dr. Baugh is one of my favorite professors at BYU. She really cares about her students and the material that she teaches. She makes lectures fun and enjoyable. Make sure you study for the tests because they are most of your grade and not easy.

Dr. Baugh is an amazing teacher. She is willing to help you in any way she can when you struggle. She has a passion for the subject and teaches it well most of the time. For the few times, she doesn't explain very well, she is VERY open to questions, and she also has capable TAs. The tests are hard, but the assignments can be fun.

I love Dr. Baugh! She is HILARIOUS!! I want to take all my sewing classes from her from now one! I feel like a lot of people don't realize how hard sewing really is, but it can get really complex, and Dr. Baugh and the TAs really help all the students out explaining difficult techniques! She's the bomb! take her class!!

Dr. Baugh is amazing! I loved the class, but it definitely requires a lot of work outside of class.

I absolutely adore Dr. Baugh. She is hilarious and very qualified for what she does! Our TA did most grading and was a huge help, so that is factor too:) I spent hours and hours in the lab outside of class. I wanted to produce great projects but sometimes it was hard to understand certain tasks. It was an advanced class so it is expected but hard!

Dr. Baugh is super nice! The class is definitely difficult and the instructions are not very clear. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into this class. She is definitely willing to meet with you and help you, but it's a tough class. There aren't a lot of assignments, so they are all worth a lot of points.

Love Dr. Baugh and she made the class so fun. There were three projects and the last one was pretty hard and was rushing to finish it at the end, but overall good class.

Dr. Baugh is incredible. Not only can she teach you to sew with quality, she can teach you to adapt to change and best of all, to laugh! I loved my time with her. She knows her stuff, she cares about her students. THE CLASS IS A LOT OF WORK. But it is fun and absolutely worth it! She is the bestest times 10 :)

I took this class because some friends were in the class. It's not related to my major at all I just took it for fun and to learn how to hem my pants. Honestly though, I learned a ton. I sewed several bags, a pair of joggers, and a collared shirt. The class takes a lot of work and you have to be willing to come into the lab times to finish products

DR Baugh is funny and cares about her students. grading could be more harsh depending on the TA and sewing takes forever and you might throw your projects sometime so dont take the class with anyone that you dont want to see you rage or cry.

Dr. Baugh is kind and funny, but the class itself was really stressful. I took 287 because I liked sewing and wanted to learn more (not for my major). Not going to lie I considered multiple times dropping the class due to how time-consuming it was! Also, you get graded harshly depending on your TA. They could fix their Canvas to be clearer too.

Overall I learned a lot in this class! If you are looking to simply develop your sewing skills, this class is not for you. It is EXTREMELY time consuming and STRESSFUL. Dr. Baugh is a great professor who cares about her students, but the instructions and structure can be confusing at times.

Dr. Baugh is a great teacher who brings a light-hearted spirit to the class. She is dependable and willing to work with you if you need help or assistance. You can really tell that she cares. The class itself is difficult and requires a lot of hours of work, but you learn a lot of useful life skills along the way!

Dr. Baugh is very knowledgable and is always willing to help you. It's a hard class because you are learning a lot of new material and it is very advanced sewing skills. I would be ready to spend a lot of time in the lab outside of class, especially with the coat. Outside lab is fun though because you are with other advanced students as you work.

Dr. Baugh has an old school sense of humor and it was a joy to giggle through sewing labs. This class is manageable if you have time to stay in the sewing lab either before or after class. If you don't have time to stay or come early then you will have to sew outside of class. There are open labs available multiple times a week.

You learn a lot of good things in pattern making, but it is tough! Instructions and demonstrations are not always very clear and the rubrics can be confusing. The grading is pretty strict and you definitely need to stay for all 3 hours to stay on top of things. The tests are pretty intense and take a long time too.

This class is challenging but extremely helpful. I would strongly recommend staying caught up on the assignments throughout the semester. Dr. Baugh is very understanding about mental illness and accessibility letters.The tests take a long time and are difficult. I would reccommend taking this class if you are interested in designing apparel.

Dr. Baugh is really kind and helpful. The TAs were great as well. This class should be considered 4 credits, because it is a lot of work and fairly fast paced. It's also graded pretty harshly as well, for a beginning class, and will get marked down for minor mistakes even if it is your first time doing it. They tend to want it perfect

Dr. Baugh is an awesome professor! She is so funny and is always happy to be there. She loves her students and wants them to succeed. I've taken two of her classes and would take more from her if I weren't graduating. She's the best! Highly recommend!

Dr. Baugh is incredibly knowledgeable about sewing techniques and is always willing to help students who need it. The TAs do grading, so that could be a toss up, but Dr. Baugh is a great professor for this class.

Dr. Baugh is such a great professor! She is always willing to work with you and make sure that you are doing well in the class. Showing up to class is pretty much essential to do well even though it is not graded or kept track of. Just try and stay on top of assignments and keep in mind that the draping unit is very time consuming.

Dr. Baugh did an excellent job at demonstrating the skills and what she expects from each assignment. She does expect a lot of work and is a tough grader, but is always willing to help you! She cares a lot and works with you when you are struggling. This class was pretty difficult, but definitely doable if you follow her demos and ask for help.

Dr. Baugh is super funny and an awesome teacher but the class itself takes a lot of time in lab outside of class so make sure you're prepared for that. For someone that hasn't ever sewed before taking this class, it was a lot of work and pretty overwhelming at times. But you make cool things!

Expect to put in time and effort if you want to do well in this class. Dr. Baugh is a great help and wants all of her students to succeed, so the work is manageable. She is very attentive to all the students and is very knowledgeable in her craft. Dr. Baugh is very sweet and encouraging and kept me excited about sewing, even when it got hard.

Loved this professor and this course. Everything is hands on. The toughness of grading depends on your TA--mine was pretty chill. Dr. Baugh is hilarious and very helpful!

This class was really fun! It was really time consuming so don't take it if you have other time consuming classes as well. Dr. Baugh was really fun and she wanted to make sure that you would like your project and use good technique. Overall really great!!

She was a good professor but the 185R class I took was very hard. If you are taking it for fun, audit the class because you will probably regret taking the class. The quizzes and tests are really hard.

Basics of Clothing Construction was an awesome class! Dr. Baugh was very helpful and I like the hybrid class because the online resources were also very helpful. Make sure to plan out time to attend open lab as it takes that extra time to finish projects.I learned a lot and am glad I took this course.

Don't take this class during spring, it gets to be pretty overwhelming. In a slower paced semester this class would be more manageable.

This is a great class but it is also very rigorous. When you learn about sewing techniques you are learning high quality ones.

Basics of Clothing Construction is by far one of the hardest classes I've taken at BYU. The pacing was very fast, so I don't know if I'd recommend taking it in the Spring, but the class is great and you learn a ton. Be prepared to spend a good bit of time outside of class working on projects. The quizzes are frustrating but open note.

The class was a blast and projects were fun but the grading was very tough and the quizzes were very term specific. The quizzes and tests were a pain to study for because the questions are very specific and in my opinion arguably vague but fishing for a specific answer that only the professor would seem to know. I recommend auditing this class

This class takes a lot of work, but if your goal is to learn the basics of sewing, and you put in the work, you will accomplish your goal. I already knew a lot about sewing, and it was still a wonderful class.

I love Dr. Baugh. I wish I had taken this class sooner so I could have taken the rest of the sewing classes before I graduated! She is very accepting and kind. She also knows an incredible amount about clothing construction. The TAs are kind of hit and miss though. This class is a bit of work but so rewarding!!

Dr. Baugh is so nice! Just make sure you watch the videos before class and become familiar with Canvas, if you haven't already. The way this class's Canvas page is set up is a little confusing. It's going to be VERY necessary to go to open labs outside of class time. Overall, I'm glad I took this class!

Dr. Baugh is amazing! She is very good at explaining and showing how to do different parts of the sewing projects. The class is mostly projects with a few quizzes throughout. Midterm seemed very similar to the quizzes which was helpful. There is a textbook, but I don't think it is necessary. Just make sure you have time to go in the lab!

Dr. Baugh is an amazing professor, I really enjoyed learning from her. She is very knowledgeable, helpful, hilarious & will help you through any problem you have in class. The class is set up clearly with a schedule that you follow closely. As long as you watch the instruction videos before class and make time to go to open labs you'll be set!

Dr. Baugh is an INCREDIBLE teacher. If you have ANY opportunity to take intermediate sewing from her, do it! it would be a mistake not to! The class is difficult but manageable if you go to the lab!

I took Intermediate Sewing, SFL 287, from her. It was great! We did three cool sewing projects and a lot of pattern alteration work. She is fun and helpful, but you need to put in the work of sewing to get all the projects finished in time, as well as watch the videos before class.

You learn so much and professor Baugh really knows her stuff!

Dr. Baugh was super considerate about all the students. She would walk around and ask every student how they were doing and how she could help. You must keep up with the assignments and not get behind, otherwise you will be very overwhelmed. Overall a great class, can be tough, but it was fun and I learned some things I didn't know!

She was an amazing teacher and demonstrated the techniques amazingly.

awesome but took so much extra time out side of class.

I really love this class and the Professor, but it has a large work load. You should expect to spend several hours a week in the sewing labs working on your projects. The teacher really loves her classes and cares about what shes teaching, which is so refreshing.

Really great instruction and always willing to work with you!

She is pleasant to be around and easy to understand.

dr. Baugh was super kind and so so so helpful! whenever I was struggling and was nervous to ask for help she just kind of knew and came over to help! I learned a lot, I just didnt do well on the written tests, so definitely study for those!

I loved Dr. Baugh! However, I did struggle in this class. Be aware that with a big class size, Dr. Baugh did not have much time for individual students. Most of my interaction in this class was with the TA's. I found the course material (sewing patterns) often confusing, but other than that it was a great course!

She was very helpful as she would come to us and ask how we are doing. The TAs she has were awesome and also very helpful. She wanted us to know what we were doing every class session and the videos were for the most part helpful.

Dr. Baugh is extremely kind. She takes time to make sure everyone is on track and understands the material. I loved how she would make sure that we always had a prayer and spiritual thought to start class. This class was difficult and had a lot of outside of class work, but it is rewarding to learn from such a teacher.

Awesome professor! You need to come to class and do the work, which should be a given for any class. But she is always willing to explain things and help with questions :)

Dr. Baugh is great. She is so funny and friendly and really knows her stuff. But I think because she is so experienced/knowledgeable when it comes to sewing, she forgets that it's not as easy for us beginners as it is for her. So the grading is can be pretty harsh, though that depends on your TA as well. It's a ton of work, but you'll learn lots.

I LOVE Dr. Baugh!! This class specifically is on the easier end of her spectrum because it is Pass/Fail. I got an A- but it doesn't get recorded like that.

Dr. Baugh is great at teaching and a great professor, she really knows her stuff and is great at teaching it simply. The class however is a hard class and not an Easy A elective. If that's what you are looking for, choose a different class. Projects require 6-8 hours a week outside of class to do, and they're the bulk of your grade.

Dr. Baugh was always willing to help during class time! She is so incredible knowledgeable about the subjects she teaches. Great class to learn high quality sewing techniques.

Overall I thought this class was really good. It was time consuming, but TAs and Dr. Baugh were always available for help and open lab hours were really flexible. Lecture videos were really helpful, but often felt unnecessary because the TA or Dr Baugh would just explain all the things again at the beginning of class. Quizzes and tests are tricky.

She was super sweet. With the class size I didn't always feel like I got as much help as I wanted, but the TAs were super helpful and awesome too. Definitely reccomend her class!

Dawna is so talented and great at explaining concepts. There is a lot of work associated with the class especially outside of class hours but it is worth it! Projects are on a timeline and I recommend sticking to that timeline if you don't want to be super stressed at the end of the semester! Challenging course but totally worth it and great people

I loved this class! Dr. Baugh knows how there is a lot of work involved in the class but she is willing to work with you and is always willing to help in class! She is amazing and I would always recommend her.

Professor Baugh is amazing! She's super nice and very considerate of your circumstances should any come up. All the projects definitely need to be done promptly if you want to keep up with the material. It'd be fine if you came into lab time to get help too. TAs are awesome!

Fun class, be ready to spend time in labs throughout your week. Keep up!

Because she has an enormously vast wealth of information to draw from, there is some "reading between the lines" to be done while listening to the lectures. But her quick wit and humor make her so endearing to all her students. She is very respected. I like how she takes time to help one on one when concepts are not coming together on your own.

Dr. Baugh is interested in the students in her class and makes sure that everyone receives the help they need. She can teach concepts in different ways that cater to the questions students ask in class. Although this class was difficult and work intensive, I was able to learn and enjoy the class material because of Dr. Baugh's enthusiasm.

Oh my goodness gracious this class was a lot of work. Get ready to spend 10+ hours a week in the sewing lab. I loved it though!

Buckle your seatbelt, you are about to embark on a journey where the sewing lab becomes your second home. If you are thinking this will be a fun class, you are right. However if you are thinking it's going to be laid back, you are wrong. This course is vigorous and should be taken with knowledge you'll be in the lab each week to stay caught up.

Dr. Baugh knows a lot about sewing and I learned a lot of new techniques and understandings. She often had words of support and encouragement. Sometimes her delivery was blunt but it is nice that she doesn't beat around the bush.

Dr. Baugh is extremely knowledgeable and wants all her students to succeed. You will need to plan on spending several hours in the sewing lab in order to get your projects finished.

I have been taking classes from Dr. Baugh for a while and I absolutely love her. She is so knowledgable about all things sewing and I have loved learning from her! This class requires a lot of time spent in the lab, but we love it!

Dr. Baugh is an awesome teacher! I'm grateful I got to have her before she retired. For anyone taking this class, be prepared to come to the lab. It's really fun, but a big time commitment, so just do it. And start coming to lab earlier in the semester! Even if you have a machine at home, it'll help you stay focused and actually do it.

Dr. Baugh is very knowledgeable, but this course is quite challenging. Lots of work outside class, but the TA and professor are helpful. Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for study prep.
