Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this sewing class:

For total beginners--if you've been wanting to learn to sew or you haven't touched a machine in years, this is the class for you! In just one session we'll walk you through the basics; you'll leave class with a finished elastic-waisted skirt.

Here's what we'll cover:

  • Basic intro to a sewing machine, including how to sew a straight seam
  • How to measure the body properly for garment fitting
  • How to cut fabric accurately
  • Pinning and sewing seams
  • Making an elastic waistband and hem

Fabric will be available for purchase in our retail shop. (If you prefer to bring your own fabric, you'll need two yards of a medium-weight woven; we recommend cotton or cotton blends.) All tools needed to complete this class will be provided, included sewing machines courtesy of BERNINA of America.

Refund Policy

We do not issue refunds on workshop registrations.

  • If you register for a workshop and later become unable to attend, we will gladly offer a credit if you notify us at least 5 business days before the workshop.
  • We are unable to offer credits of any kind, or honor reschedule requests, with less than 5 business days advance notice.

In fairness to all of our customers, we are unable to make exceptions to our policy, including for reasons of illness or travel. If you are unable to attend a workshop at the last minute, we suggest giving your spot to a friend!

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

Thank you for understanding!
