THE BASICS OF SEWING 101

Classes limited to 4 people

In this class, you will be learning basic stitching techniques eg. how to thread sewing machines and wind a bobbin. This beginner class series will enable you to confidently use a sewing machine, even if you have never used one before.

Students will learn & develop foundational skills by creating fundamental seams and finishes, which are used in modern-day garment construction.

This class is taught as an instructional class. You will be walked through all the techniques, step by step, as a small group.

This will be an additional 3 hour session which will add an additional $250.00 so we can get started on your machine!
