In this class, you will be learning basic stitching techniques eg. how to thread sewing machines and wind a bobbin. This beginner class series will enable you to confidently use a sewing machine, even if you have never used one before.

Students will learn & develop foundational skills by creating fundamental seams and finishes, which are used in modern-day garment construction.

This class is taught as an instructional class. You will be walked through all the techniques, step by step, as a small group.

Optional: Bring Your Own **Straight Stitch Sewing Machine - you will be directed on how to use it, and better understand the opportunities your specific machine offers you!

We will also have straight stitch machines for your use as well. Students that do not bring their own sewing machines will take turns completing their assignment on the available machines at our space. The large space on the 3rd Level will ensure that our social distancing protocol is still followed. You must follow all regulations by wearing a face mask at all times and using sanitizer to wipe down your space after every use.

**If you opt to bring your own sewing machine please ensure it is a STRAIGHT STITCH Machine.
