**Class Description: "Sewing for Absolute Beginners"**
Are you ready to dive into the world of sewing, but don’t know where to start? This hands-on, 2-hour workshop is designed specifically for beginners who have never sewn before! Whether you’re interested in making your own clothes, home décor, or simply want to learn a new skill, this class will give you a solid foundation to get started on your sewing journey.
In this class, you’ll learn the basics of operating a sewing machine, understanding fabric types, and mastering essential stitching techniques. We’ll guide you step-by-step through the process of threading your machine, cutting and measuring fabric, and making your very first sewing project — a simple pillowcase or tote bag. Along the way, you’ll gain confidence in troubleshooting common sewing issues and learn tips for creating professional-looking finishes.
By the end of the session, you'll have a completed project and the skills to continue exploring sewing on your own. No prior experience required — just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to learn!
**What You’ll Learn:**
- How to use a sewing machine (from threading the machine to sewing straight lines)
- Fabric types and how to choose the right one for your project
- Basic sewing techniques like stitching, hemming, and finishing seams
- How to troubleshoot common sewing problems
- How to sew your first project: a tote bag!
Whether you’re looking to make custom gifts, personalize your home, or start a new hobby, this class will set you on the right track. No sewing experience necessary—just bring your curiosity and creativity!

If you do not own a sewing machine yet, one can be rented! If a machine is purchased, the rental fee is refundable.
