Description

Learn to sew on a sewing machine!! Learn the basics of a sewing machine, along with how to sew a summer bunting! Did you just purchase your very first sewing machine? Not sure where to start? Sewing can feel intimidating at the very start. Join Grace in learning the ins-and-outs of sewing with a sewing machine. We will be covering parts of a sewing machine, common troubleshooting with a machine, and how to follow a pattern. We will be making a variety of projects throughout the year, so don’t feel like you can take just one class and get everything you need. Students are welcome to take as many beginner introduction classes as it takes to feel comfortable with sewing! We will be making projects including a pin cushion, a super useful tool any sewist needs in their toolbox; drawstring project bag; and much more!
