Attention all budding sewists! Come learn machine and hand sewing basics in this complete 8 week flex class. Questions answered include: How does my sewing machine work? (Stitches, tension, bobbin winding, threading etc.) What type of fabric should I use? (Fabric uses and care) What does this mean? (Following a sewing pattern) Where should I cut this? (Pattern placement and cutting fabric) How do I add zippers, buttons, straps, pockets or elastic? Can I sew this by hand? (Basic hand-sewing/ embroidery stitches and when to use them) A new video tutorial and any PDF or project pattern needed will be provided each week on Sundays (EST) to view and print. Here are the projects covered: Week 1 - Pillowcase Week 2 - Drawstring backpack Week 3 - Pajama shorts Week 4 - Utility belt or apron Week 5 - Messenger bag Week 6 - Easy plush teddy bear Week 7 - Zipper pouch Week 8 - Basic embroidery stitches Completed projects will then be shared to our classroom on Outschool so we can admire each others’ work! Remember that I am at your disposal to answer any and all questions at any time during the 8 weeks of class either through messaging or directly in the classroom. My goal is that each student leaves this course with the knowledge and confidence to sew independently.
Learning Goals
Learners will leave this course having the knowledge and confidence to sew their projects themselves!
