In this hands-on class I will walk learners through everything they need to get started sewing their own projects. Day One: We will learn how to thread our machine, and explore the different stitches Day two: We will make a draw string bag. Learning basic rules of sewing-how to put right sides together, use a seam allowance, a simple hem, and threading the drawstring. Day three: We will make a little fold over purse. Using an iron and working with multi-step instructions. Day four: We will make a zippered pouch. We will learn how to install a zipper and finish seams neatly. Who is this class for? This class is for young creatives who want to add sewing to their skill set. If you have a young person eager to get sewing, this class will set them on their way. The class size is capped at 6 students to make sure there is time for everyone and everyone gets the attention they need. I encourage learners to come together as a creative community and be encouraging with each other and support a creative atmosphere in class. This is a wonderful class for young people who are creative and want to explore textiles. And it's also fine for beginner sewers who don't have a clue where to start. Students of all skill levels and experience are welcome. I like to create an atmosphere of creative play and am here to make your sewing experience the best it can be.
Learning Goals
At the end of this class learners will be able to sets up their sewing machines and understand basic sewing fundamentals, and sew something independently.
