• Learn basic machine-sewing techniques in a friendly, step-by-step environment where exploration is encouraged, while also working toward a common goal of a completed project

• Learn machine sewing vocabulary and applicable tips and tricks

• Design and assemble a colorful patchwork top, add batting and backing, and sew a finished envelope pillow you’ll be proud to take home.

• Practice safe use of sewing machines and tools along with simple finishing touches

Day 2 — Beach Tote

• Apply new skills to create a sturdy, custom beach tote perfect for books, towels, and treasures.

• Learn pattern layout, cutting, reinforcing seams, and adding pockets or straps

• Personalize your tote with fun fabrics and small embellishments using an iron, decorative stitches, and your imagination

Why join?

• No prior sewing experience necessary — we’ll teach everything from the basics to advanced ways to finish your project professionally

• Small, supportive group setting with patient instructor (former special education teacher and mom of two littles - I’ve taught children and grown ups alike!)

• All tools and supplies provided, including machines, fabrics, thread, and notions.

• Fun, practical projects you’ll use all summer and can use as springboard projects into more sewing in your future

Logistics

• Arrival 3:45-4:00 - please be timely so we can get right to it!

• Bring a snack to share or enjoy as our sewing skills will require energy - and usually chocolate! ;-)

• Wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little creative in. We will be inside unless the group is ready for an afternoon of open-air sewing!
