Basic Sewing 6W25
If you need to learn how to use a sewing machine for the first time, Basic Sewing is for you.
Learn how to operate a sewing machine, learn basic sewing terms, sewing methods and tools of the trades in order to choose, read and understand patterns.
Then apply your newly found skills by sewing accessories (pillow, tote bag...) and you feel ready, your first garment!
Completion qualifies students for intermediate classes and open workshop classes. We will review where to buy supplies in class.
**PLEASE NOTE: Enrolled students must not miss more than one consecutive class or they will not be able to progress in the course.**
Limit 6 students
Make up date 3/4/25 if needed.
