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

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.

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
