Sewing 1: Learn to Use Your Sewing Machine (Sat, March 28, 12-4 pm)

Learn the basics of machine sewing in this 4-hour workshop. Students will learn sewing machine safety, how to set up their sewing machine, complete basic stitches, and make a small bag. Students are encouraged to bring their sewing machine to get comfortable using their specific model. If a student doesn’t have a sewing machine or isn’t able to bring it, Paper City Fabrics has a select number of studio machines available to reserve on a first come, first served basis.

Please note: if your sewing machine has not been used or serviced in many years get it checked out first!
