Basic Sewing
Learn the basics of sewing using a sewing machine while creating fun projects such as a drawstring bag and pajama pants. Participants will practice essential beginner skills including threading a machine, sewing straight lines, following patterns, hemming, and basic hand stitching. These foundational techniques will build confidence and provide a strong starting point for future sewing projects.
Personal sewing machine preferred, but participants may borrow one from the instructor.
If participants would like a specific design or pattern on the fabric used for projects, they must provide their own fabric. Fabric types and required lengths for each project will be discussed during the first night of class. Otherwise, fabric and supplies will be provided by the instructor.
