Sewing I

 
Begin at the beginning with the basics and you will be amazed at your sewing skills! Students learn the basic operation of a sewing machine, how to sew simple seams and hems, distinguish among various types of fabric, and how to set in elastic bands, bindings, and zippers. Class projects include a tote bag, a skirt, and a knit top. Bring a basic manual (not digital) sewing machine (with attachments and manual) along with an extension cord and power strip to all class meetings. Also bring thread (black and white), bobbins (2 or 3), chalk (white), scissors, and a seam ripper. Additional supplies and fabrics may be needed. $20 materials fee payable in class.
