About this Event

The days are getting longer, the air is softer, and everything is asking you to slow down just a little 

The Sewing Circle: Sewing 101 is your invitation to ease into the season with intention—learning a new skill, reconnecting with your creativity, and making something by hand that feels like you.

Whether you’re starting fresh or returning to a practice you’ve been missing, this class creates space for you to sit, create, and move at a slower, more thoughtful pace. In a world that’s always rushing, this is your moment to make instead of scrolling.

Together, we’ll walk through the foundations of sewing in a way that feels approachable, supportive, and creatively freeing. You’ll learn how to use a sewing machine, understand essential tools, and practice beginner stitching techniques—all while working toward a small, personalized project.

Think of it as a soft entry into summer… one stitch at a time.



🪡 In This Class, You’ll Learn:
  • Sewing machine basics (how to thread, control, and stitch)
  • Foundational sewing techniques
  • How to approach a simple project from start to finish



✨ You’ll Leave With:
  • A handmade, personalized keepsake
  • A strong beginner foundation
  • The confidence (and excitement) to keep creating


 What’s Included:

  • All essential sewing supplies and materials
  • Sewing machine access (limited machines available to rent during class)
  • Light refreshments to keep things easy and flowing


This class is for anyone craving something slower, softer, and more intentional this season. Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and leave with something made by hand and heart 💛
