Do you want an entry-level class on sewing and garment construction? Do you have a sewing machine but are uncertain how to use it?
Join us for a hands-on introductory course that will teach the foundational skills needed to construct simple garments. This class is perfect for the aspiring sewist who is curious to try sewing or the self-taught sewist who would like to increase their knowledge and technical skill set. Previous sewing experience is not necessary.

Students will:
- Cut and sew a Cinch Backpack & Sunglass Case;

- Learn how to thread and operate a conventional sewing machine, including trouble-shooting common issues;
- Receive instruction on how to read a commercial sewing pattern;

All sewing tools will be provided by Rightfully Sewn Academy and it's donors in order to promote and encourage a sustainable future in the fashion industry. Rightfully Sewn has fabric available for you to use, but if you want to bring in your own fabric or upcycle any fabric from home (ex: sheets, curtains, table cloths, old clothing), feel free to do so!
