About this Event
The first step to making your clothes immortal is learning to sew! In this workshop, participants will get to know every part of a sewing machine--inside and out! Tria Connell will guide you through how to thread a machine, how to use different needles, how to change the tension and stitch length and also when to do so, and more! Not only will you walk away with the tools to sew for years to come, you'll also be creating a knot bag that you've sewn yourself!
This class or similar sewing knowledge will be required for other "Immortal Clothes" workshops to come.
Machines will be provided but if you have your own, please bring it! If you are bringing your machine please let us know at [email protected]
