About this Event

Machine Sewing 101: Make a Tote Bag

In this class, you will learn how to: wind a bobbin, thread a machine, adjust your stitch length, width and tension, read a pattern, sew a simple, lined tote bag. This class is for complete beginners or anyone who needs a refresher on using a sewing machine. If you’re interested in garment sewing, this is a great place to start!
