Principiante en costura: Bolsa de almuerzo reutilizable

In this class we will work together to sew a lunch sack. 

Day 1: Picking your fabric - we will discuss types of fabric and what fabrics are appropriate for this project. We will also discuss threading your machine so students have time to practice prior to beginning to sew. Students will need to purchase (or otherwise source) the fabric for their project between day 1 and day 2.

Day 2: Cutting your pattern - will will work together to cut our pattern/fabric. We will be discussing grains and directional patterns.

Day 3-5: Sewing day - we will be doing the sewing of our items this day. Your student will need access to a sewing machine and an iron (and adult supervision as necessary) these days. We should be able to do most of the sewing during class but your child may require a bit more machine time after class if they need to finish up.

Please note that this is a leveled class. Each student is required to know how to accomplish the tasks in the previous levels before beginning classes of a higher level as I will no longer be covering those skills in higher level courses. If students need help learning a skill they have missed in a previous level class please message me and I can point you to a class where we teach that skill or set up a private lesson to make sure the skill is learned.
