sewing 101: learn to sew!
In this 2.5-hour workshop you will learn all the basics of the timeless craft of sewing on our machines. First, you will learn the machine itself and how it works, including how to wind a bobbin and thread the machine. After you've prepared your machine correctly, you will test your sewing skills on small samples of fabric to familiarize yourself with the foot pedal and the different speeds of the machine. Additional skills learned in class include practicing seam allowance, backstitching, and how to rip seams if needed. Finally, you will put your new skills to use and make a lined drawstring bag!
This class is perfect for anyone who has little to no sewing experience as well as those who have not sewn for years and need a good refresher. You will walk away from class with the confidence to continue your sewing journey!
