Intro to Machine Sewing- Tote Bag Workshop

Join STITCH AND DESTROY for their popular intro to machine sewing workshop!

STITCH AND DESTROY owners, Haven and Corey, will guide you through on how to use a sewing machine. We will go over sewing machine parts, threading the machine, and how to sew basic straight and zig zag stitches. After practicing with the machine, Haven and Corey will teach you how to sew a reversable cotton tote bag. Pinning fabric and ironing will also be covered. Sewing machines, pre-cut fabric, thread and all other materials will be provided! We will be sewing on Singer Brilliance machines.

All levels are welcome! This is a beginner friendly workshop and you do not need any sewing experience. Half of the workshop will be going over how to use a sewing machine and the other half will be used as time to create your tote bag. This workshop is open to folks 18+. Our Intro To Sewing Machine Workshops are perfect for those who have never sewn or need a refresher on basics.

Space is limited in our studio- we are able to accommodate 6 attendees. Sign up now to secure your spot!
