Join us for Crash Course in Sewing 2.0! In this follow-up to our beginner sewing crash course, we’ll dive into a fun and easy project: a reusable bag! This lightweight bag is perfect to toss in your purse, car, or backpack for on-the-go use. All materials are provided!

This class is best taken after Crash Course 1.0, but beginners are welcome!

Students will leave the class knowing:

• How to sew a French seam

• How to properly iron fabric for sewing

• How to make straps

• How to hem fabric

No machine? No problem! We’ll have machines available if needed. If you own a machine, we recommend bringing it so you can learn on your specific model.

• Guided instruction from our knowledgeable instructor

• Materials and assistance needed to sew a reusable bag

• Wine, sparkling cider (non-alcoholic), or sparkling water to enjoy as you create
