Learn to sew clothes with us! ✨
Join us for a 6-week long workshop that will walk you through all the steps of sewing your first garment, from introducing you to the sewing machine all the way though completing your first sewing pattern, made to fit you (and you get to choose which one)!
We will provide a variety of shorts and pants options for you to choose from (see the images to get an idea, and see here for the list of options)! You can choose to go simpler, making a garment with no pockets, or more complex, inseam and patch pockets, and other details if you choose.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
In this 6-week class, we will work at your own pace and cover the following:
✿ Threading a sewing machine and stitching
✿ Taking your own measurements
✿ Using and understanding a sewing pattern
✿ Making simple pattern adjustments
✿ How to choose appropriate fabrics for your sewing project
✿ A variety of garment construction techniques
✿ Serger skills
✿ And lots more!
You'll leave this class with all the skills you need to take one of our Confident Beginner level workshops, so this is a great option if you have an eye on one of those workshops but don't have basic sewing skills yet.
WHAT'S INCLUDED & WHAT TO BRING
You'll have the option to bring your own sewing machine if you'd like to learn to use it, or to use one of our studio machines. We'll also provide sergers for students to use.
You'll need to purchase the sewing pattern(s) you choose to make, as well as fabric and notions for your project. We will help you determine what you need and select appropriate fabrics after the first class.
