Learn to be a pro with sewing machine – Beginner Sewing course Level 1

Studio Thimbles Level 1 Course (STL1) is like a White Belt in Martial Arts – in order to earn your Black Belt, you need to start with basics! STL1 is a sewing course for absolute beginners to help you start your sewing journey in the fastest and easiest way. Avoid sewing frustration and disappointment from YouTube videos! Learn in a small group of like-minded people with peer-to-peer support. Knowledgeable, friendly, patient teachers will guide you every step of the way.

We all once were beginners, so, we know how you feel. Our teachers Denise, Daniela, or Olga will take you on the journey from setting up your sewing machine to 1st handmade ready-to-wear garment, which you would be so proud of!

Sewing course is 5 lessons, 2-2.5 hours each. One class per week

As we learn we will complete the following projects:

Cushion cover (envelope type)

Tote bag with box corners

Apron

Skirt with in-seam pockets

As we gain knowledge and confidence, we finish this STL1 course with 1st garment for ourselves. It will be a skirt with in-seam pockets. This will prepare us for the STL2 sewing course where we will continue to help you become a pro with the sewing machine. We start working with garment patterns and will make a top and pants/shorts for ourselves. If you love our Martial Arts reference, the STL2 it will be like grading from White belt straight to Green Belt!
