About this Event
Join us for this hands-on workshop where you'll learn essential sewing techniques, such as measuring, cutting, and assembling fabric pieces. We'll teach you how to set up the sewing machine and work with a sewing pattern.
In this class we're making a roll-up travel case. The core skills we're covering are:
- simple straps
- seams and seam finishing
- topstitching
You'll want to make straps for everything after taking this class!
Don't worry if you don't have any sewing experience or equipment. We'll provide all the necessary materials and sewing machines for you to use during class. You are encouraged to bring your own sewing machine, with the power cord, foot control, and all accessories. Every person in the classroom needs a ticket for class, even if you are sharing a sewing machine.
Spaces are limited, so make sure to reserve your spot today. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow sewing enthusiasts and have fun learning new skills. We can't wait to see you!
Bring to class: Sewing machine with power cord, foot control, all attachments and instruction manual, if available
Class length: 3 hours, 10am - 1pm
Class size: 4 minimum, 8 maximum
Age range: All ages
