This is a basic sewing class. Students will first learn how to thread a needle and tie a knot in the thread. Students will learn how to sew up a hole in a sock. You can bring a sock that needs mending or a stuffed dog toy that needs mending. I will share my camera so you can see my hands clearly and how to sew. I will work step by step. You will not need to have learned to sew before. Learners will be able to ask questions before, during and after class. If there is time after class I can stay longer to answer more questions or help learners complete their sewing.

I've been sewing all my life since I was little. My mother and grandmother sewed and knitted. My first sewing class (11 or 12 years old) was in Sarasota FL and it was a stretch and sew class using a sewing machine and stretch fabrics. When I had three young daughters I did smocking and heirloom sewing in Atlanta GA out of the shop: Pintucks and Pinafores. I took many "Martha Pullen sewing classes" Martha Pullen was my sewing hero. My father in-law bought me a sewing machine when my first daughter was born in 1995. I sewed when my kids slept. My daughters wore the clothes I sewed and picked their own fabric. When they got to be school aged they wanted to shop for clothes and then wondered why there were tags on the back of shirts and dresses and would ask for them to be cut off.
