Sewing 101 is a 4-part series designed for beginners.

Class 1: We jump right in, teaching you how to thread a machine, wind a bobbin and use the stitch selector. You’ll even make a napkin with mitered corners to take home at the end of your very first class.

Class 2: You’ll learn to sew a reversible tote bag. But you’ll learn so much more about fabric, print directional, picking a lining vs your exterior fabric, installing handles, top stitching and more.

Class 3: We’re making a roll-up organizer. This clever project is perfect for storing your sewing tools, make-up brushes, crayons or colored pencils, toiletries and more. We’ll be reinforcing the material you learned in the first two classes, honing in on your sewing accuracy, learning to use bias tape, adding pockets and more.

Class 4 you’ll make a piped zippered pillow! You’ll use all of the skills from classes 1-3 and then you’ll learn to install a zipper using your zipper foot, sewing down cording and more.

Skills You’ll Learn: all the basics of your machine (you can even bring it still in the box!), backtacking, corners, curves, zippers, trim, linings, bindings, installing handles, hand stitching and finishing.

A Materials Kit Fee of $40 PAYABLE TO INSTRUCTOR AT FIRST CLASS provides the basic materials (Grommets, straps, and hardware) but you will need to purchase individual supplies for your other projects.
