Intro to Sewing Series (3 week class)

​

Prerequisite: No experience required

Class Description:

If you’ve never touched a sewing machine, this class is for you! Start by learning to use a sewing machine while making a simple tote bag, then learn skills like sewing curved seams and corners, seam finishing, ironing, pressing, topstitching installing zippers, and more. Bring your own machine or use ours.
