Get to Know Your Machine - Adult Sewing Basics

learn to sew!

Have you always wanted to learn to sew? First, you should know how to use the sewing machine; this class can help!

No machine? — No problem, borrow one of mine!

Are you worried about a class setting? Book a private lesson!

Please bring all materials for classes; I no longer have communal supplies like scissors, pins, needles, etc.

Also, for this class, you only need to ensure you have scissors, extra bobbins, and thread.

Sewing Machine (if you need to borrow one): Please note that you need one; please put in additional notes at checkout.
