 Beginning Sewing for All ages   Project Workshop Classic Shirt
Sew Fittingly Trunk Show Sew Fittingly Tank Top Sew Fittingly Shirt/Jacket Sew Fittingly Skirt
Zipperde-Do-Da Seams To Me … Collars, Cuffs & Pocket Flaps

 

  Beginning Sewing for All ages

  5 Sessions

 Suitable for ages 8 and up!!
This is a class that will teach the fun of sewing. I do not require perfection, I want students to see this as a new form of art. I am very calm and patient. The projects are forgiving, yet functional, and will give the student a sense of pride and accomplishment. This is not your grandmother’s sewing class. Students will be able to make design choices, and see construction concepts, that I hope will keep you interested in sewing long after the classes are over.
On the first day, you will become familiar with the sewing machine.
On the second day you will make an apron, learn about seam allowances pinning on paper patterns, fabric grain and bias tape.
On the third day, you will make a tote bag that can hold all of your sewing supplies or shopping tote!
On the fourth and fifth days, you will make a pair of pajama pants and will learn about fitting, casings, elastic, seam finishing and hemming.
