Beginning Sewing Intensive 101

In this class you will learn all the basics of the timeless craft of sewing on our beginner friendly classroom machines.  By the end of the series, you will have confidence in using a sewing machine independently and will have gained a wealth of knowledge including the following: proper sewing techniques (pinning, cutting , etc.), the basics of bag making, working with zippers, reading and using patterns, the basics of garment construction, working with various fabric types and more! 

We'll start with a thorough introduction to the sewing machine and get you familiar with winding a bobbin, threading the machine, and operating the machine confidently.  Then we'll make a simple drawstring bag to build your confidence.  The next project is a set of zipper pouches, then finally we'll tackle pajama pants to give you a solid foundation for garment sewing and construction. 

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.  Absolutely no prior sewing experience is required!  Please note: Fabrics must be purchased in our shop to ensure you have the appropriate materials for the projects.
