We’ve all been there - our sewing machine is collecting dust because it feels intimidating to learn (or remember) how to thread the machine and then once we do it we have to figure out how to make it work! And getting those birdsnests of thread under your fabric? What even makes that happen?!
This BYOM Sewing Machine Basics class is designed for us - those that have been away from the machine for a long time and even those that have never used a sewing machine.
You will leave class with knowledge of how your specific machine works, how to troubleshoot when your stitches don’t look quite right, the types of stitches and their use, as well as a cute pin cushion and fabric weights you complete in class.
This basics class will prepare you for future sewing workshops and give you the confidence you need to start doing minor clothing repair or basic sewing projects at home!
