About this Event
In this workshop, you will be learning how to make a custom bandana for your four-legged friend! We’ll cover a few basic sewing skills together, including cutting from patterns, straight stitching on a sewing machine, and top-stitching with a few tips and tricks along the way! You’ll have the chance to pick out a fabric (or two) of your choosing for the bandana, and there will be opportunities to add additional creative touches to customize your bandana for your favorite fur-baby.
IMPORTANT: This workshop is designed for people who have practiced straight-stitching on a sewing machine and are looking to gain more confidence sewing! We recommend that you measure your furry friend’s neck before arriving at the workshop to ensure a good fit.
This is primarily a BYOM (Bring Your Own Machine) workshop and limited sewing machines are available. Available sewing machines can be reserved by purchasing a 'Borrow a Machine' ticket. Participants who purchase a BYOM ticket will need to bring a standard sewing machine and all necessary machine accessories to participate (pedal, power cord, bobbin, machine needle).
This workshop is appropriate for ages 11+ only. Minors do not have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the workshop. Adults must come inside to drop their minor off with the workshop instructor. Drop off begins 10 minutes before the scheduled start time, and everyone must be picked up at the scheduled end of the workshop.
