Get to Know your Sewing machine: Make an Apron

Learn to thread the machine, adjust stitches and thread tension, and trouble-shoot common issues. BYO machine or borrow one of ours!
About this Event

Its sitting there. Mocking you. The sewing machine you bought (got as a gift, inherited). "You said you were going to sew things on me!" it whines. "WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME."

Don't worry. We all started there-- staring at a surprisingly hefty piece of equipment with a rapidly stabbing needle thinking, "Oh, this is way more complicated than I realized."

Good news! We're here to help! We will patiently help you learn to thread a machine, stitch a seam, trouble-shoot thread tension, and what the zig-zag stich is (and isn't!) for.

You'll leave with a finished project (an apron for your holiday cooking!) to show off to your friends, enemies, and pets.
