Intro to Denim Workshop

📍 Denim Lab Calgary
📅 Saturday March 14, 2026

Step into the world of denim construction in this focused, small-group workshop where you’ll build your own durable, professional-style denim apron from start to finish.

This is the perfect introduction to working with heavier fabrics while refining your sewing skills in a studio environment.

Over 4 hours, you’ll:

• Work confidently with mid- to heavy-weight denim
• Construct clean seams and reinforced stress points
• Practice precision topstitching
• Learn proper edge finishing techniques
• Try a serger (optional, guided introduction)
• Leave with a finished, functional denim apron

This workshop bridges the gap between basic sewing and more advanced garment construction.

Some sewing machine experience required.

This workshop is ideal for you if:

• You can thread a sewing machine and wind a bobbin
• You’ve sewn at least a few small projects
• You’re comfortable sewing straight seams
• You’d like to try working with denim
• You’re curious about using a serger for the first time

No serger experience is required — you’ll be guided step-by-step.

If you’ve never used a sewing machine before, this workshop may move too quickly.

Denim Lab Calgary keeps classes intentionally small (maximum 4 participants) to ensure:

• Individual guidance
• Clear demonstrations
• A relaxed, focused environment
• Time to ask questions

You’ll rotate between machines and techniques, just like in a real denim workshop setting.

✔ Denim fabric
✔ All tools and materials
✔ Use of studio sewing machines

Just bring yourself — everything else is provided.
