Whether you’re wanting to sew a pattern, upcycle or alter your wardrobe, make your own home decor, or make your own collection, this is the place to start!In this beginner sewing class, you’ll learn to use a sewing machine, basic stitches, and fundamental sewing techniques and finishes used in modern sewing and garment construction. You’ll be walked through each techniques, step by step, as a small group, then you go back to your station and try them yourself!As you work through the techniques, you’ll create a sample binder full of seam and technique samples to take with you with everything you’ve learned in it. That way, you can refer back to it when you’re working on a project and forget exactly what the difference between an "edge stitch" and "top stitch" is. 😵Plus! (this is new and sew exciting), each week you'll also sew up a little project using your new skills! It's so fun to take something home you've just made yourself to show friends and family. 😊Class meets once a week on Sunday at 10am till 1pm for 6 weeks.
