Intro to Sewing // 4-Day Course
1 spot available!
Tuesday & Thursday Evenings April 15th-24th 5-8pm
This foundational sewing course is offered in two formats: a 2-Day (8-hour) or 4-Day (12-hour) option. Students are expected to come with little to no sewing experience, and will leave with the ability to independently tackle beginner sewing projects - like a tote bag or simple t-shirt.
Students will learn a number of technical skills, including:
How to thread and use a sewing machine
Straight stitch and back stitch
How to measure fabric
How to cut fabric
Working with zippers
Changing presser feet
Stitch reinforcement
Sewing is a skill built on repetition and during this course, you’ll build essential sewing skills through hands-on practice in a supportive, project-based classroom.
If you’ve purchased a machine and haven’t been able to get started, or watched 10 YouTube videos and still can’t crack the code, or are just curious about sewing basics - this class is for you! No experience or tools needed, just bring your enthusiasm, and we’ll cover the rest.
Throughout each session, you’ll gain practical knowledge and skills through a range of beginner-friendly projects that cover different types of sewing (eg. garment making, accessories, quilting, household items). Each participant should expect to finish the course with 2-3 completed projects and the skills and confidence to keep sewing on your own.
What’s included:
12 or 8 hours of instructor-led coursework
Cotton, linen, and polyester fabrics
Thread, zippers, and other notions
All tools and equipment needed for the course, including use of one of our Singer Heavy Duty sewing machines during class

Bring your creativity and your project—whether it’s alterations, upcycling or crafting something entirely new. Our instructor will be on hand to help you set up your machine, provide advice on tricky steps, and answer questions as you go. If you have your own sewing machine, we highly recommend bringing it for this class so you can get comfortable learning the ins and outs of your machine, otherwise you're welcome to use one of our class sewing machines.
This class is perfect if you:
Want a second set of eyes before making that first cut.
Need clarification on specific techniques.
Crave a collaborative space to work on your sewing projects.
If your project is highly specialized or requires in-depth one-on-one guidance, we recommend inquiring about private lessons to ensure you get the support you need.
Please note, you must have recent sewing experience in order to attend. To be eligible to sign up, students must have completed our Intro to Sewing Course OR have proficient understanding and application of how to use a home sewing machine including threading the machine, winding a bobbin, adjusting stitches & stitch settings and changing presser feet.
