Learn the basics of sewing in this beginner-friendly class designed to build confidence and foundational skills. Students will be introduced to essential techniques including machine setup, stitching, seam construction, and fabric handling.

Attendees can choose to bring their personal project they need help with, or pick between two practical projects: a simple apron, or a pot holder to create a finished piece you can use every day. This class is perfect for those new to sewing or anyone looking for a refresher in a supportive, hands-on environment.
