Do you have a sewing machine and have no idea how to use it? Thinking about learning to sew? This class will cover so much in one hour or so about the sewing machine. (We can even teach you some history also!) We’ll wind the bobbin and install it, thread the machine, adjust stitch length and width, backstitch, use some of the different stitches on the machine, review the feet and other items that come with the machine, and review tension.

 

Supplies required: your machine and treadle, scraps of fabric and a fat quarter of tightly woven cotton, ¼” wide elastic, or 1” wide elastic and some poly-fil fluff, and a spool of thread. Once we have gotten to know our machine, we will sew a mask or pin cushion.

Please call to set up a class as we try to schedule this one as a one on one type class.

This class is designed for the beginning stitcher and will get you started sewing your own garments and accessories. You will also discover the joy of the creative journey. Cutting on grain, importance of pressing, and following a sewing sequence are covered in depth. Each session is project oriented and each student will leave class with finished wearable projects. Once enrolled, we will provide you with the supply list for each session.

The first 2 sessions of our Sewing 101, brief and concise!

Professional Classes

Basic pattern making starts with a fitted block. Our studio classes start with creating a fitted block (the hardest thing to do in our opinion). This class utilizes a pre-made block, either yours or ours, and uses it to create new styles of patterns. Many of these techniques are applicable to menswear and kids! Classes are as follows:

Session 1: Bodice dart rotations using 2 different techniques

Session 2: Bodice dart alternatives (3 alternatives)

Session 3: Bodice dart eliminations (2 styles)

Session 4: Button extensions, facings (2 types), and interfacings

Session 5: Collars and neckline alterations (3 collar drafts)

Session 6: Sleeves (3 sleeve variations)

Session 7: Skirts (3 skirt variations)

Session 8: Yokes on bodices and skirts (2 variations)

$ 25.00 a session, each session is approximately 2 hours.
