Do you know how to use a sewing machine? Here's the next step in learning how to make your own projects by learning how to read a pattern!
About this Event

Do you know how to use a sewing machine? Are you excited to start making some actual projects? This is the workshop for you! We'll be going over tips and process for how to follow a sewing pattern, covering key topics such as:

  • How to measure correctly
  • How much fabric to buy
  • Key elements of a pattern
  • Making it fit you
  • Layout of pattern on fabric
  • Construction instructions
  • Testing and fixing mistakes

Our host sewist will use a beginner-friendly pattern, such as PJ pants, to discuss the topics. However, feel free to bring a pattern that you have purchased, and we can help to answer any questions when possible. If you found a pattern online and have the PDF, please bring the printed pattern on paper, not the digital PDF form. You can also purchase beginner friendly patterns from the store when you arrive!

Each ticket is valid for one attendee only, and we’re not able to offer a guest option for this workshop. Please note that a minimum of two attendees is required for the workshop to run. In the rare case that no one else is registered a few days before the scheduled start time, we’ll reach out to let you know. If the workshop is cancelled, your ticket can be refunded via store credit or rescheduled—whichever you prefer. Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to having you join us!
