Intro to Machine Sewing Workshop

Intro to Machine Sewing

Learn the fundamentals of the sewing machine — and walk away with a finished project! In this hands-on workshop, you'll cover machine basics, safety, standard stitches, and practical tips as you sew your very own drawstring bag. From winding the bobbin to threading the machine to sewing with a seam allowance, you'll build a solid foundation that can take your sewing wherever you want to go.

What's Provided All materials are provided, including fabric and use of a sewing machine if needed. You're also welcome to bring your own fabric if you have something you'd like to use. If you own a sewing machine, we strongly encourage you to bring it — we'd love to help you learn the ins and outs of your specific machine! Machine availability in the workshop is limited, so please note in your registration whether you have a machine and, if so, the make and model OR if you will need to use one from the Tool Library.

What to Wear / Safety Notes No special attire required. Be mindful of needles and pins and respectful of safety notes during class.

Skill Level: Beginner — no experience necessary.

Important Workshop Details:

• Attendees must be 18+
• Attendees should arrive 15 minutes early to check in.
• Refunds are only allowed until 72 hours before the event.

Equitable Access We believe everyone deserves access to hands-on learning opportunities, regardless of income. That's why each workshop includes a limited number of Equitable Access seats.

To help us share these opportunities widely:

• Each participant may claim an Equitable Access seat once per quarter (every three months).
• These spots are first-come, first-served and limited by class size.
• If you've already used an equitable seat this quarter, we ask that you register at full price so others can benefit.

Please only claim these tickets if cost is truly a barrier for you — this helps ensure that those who need the support most can take part.
