Whether you’ve never touched a sewing machine before or need a refresher after a long break, this workshop can help get you going!

In this workshop you will learn:

  • Basic sewing vocabulary
  • Helpful tools you’ll need to sew at home
  • Sewing machine parts and functions
  • How to wind a bobbin and thread the machine
  • How to sew in a straight line and pivot around corners
  • How to sew in reverse
  • You’ll make a simple tote bag

Skill requirements: No previous sewing experience required.

Material requirements:

  • 1/2 (or 2 fat quarters) of medium to heavy weight cotton or linen fabric
  • 2m of webbing (cotton or polyester)
  • 1 spool of coordinating polyester thread   

Equipment requirements: Please note that we provide a sewing machine for you to use in the studio, but you are more than welcome to bring your machine from home. If you’d like to bring your home machine, please remember to bring the manual (and foot pedal/power cord) and arrive 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time.

Group size: We like to keep our workshops cozy and fun, so attendance is limited to 7 guests.
