About this Event

Do you want to learn how to use a sewing machine, but don't know where to start? Do you have a sewing machine that you'd like to better understand? Come to this workshop to learn the basics of how these machines work and how to use them! We will be demonstrating basic sewing and quilting techniques for a variety of different fabrics, with a limited number of machines available for practice. Participants are encouraged to bring their own machine if you have one, and will be given materials to practice with. This is a two-hour workshop that will be demonstration and tutorial based, brought to you by Trans Tailoring.
