Date: Wednesday, May 7th
Time: 6:00–8:00 PM
Location: The Dime Store (118 E McKinney St, Denton, TX)

Join us as we learn to work with a sewing machine! We'll walk through the ins and outs of setting up your sewing machine and sewing basic seams. As we learn, we’ll create three stitch samples together.

Students will leave the class knowing:

• How to thread their machine

• How to thread their bobbin

• How to troubleshoot simple issues on their machine

• What tools are essential for sewing

• How to sew a plain seam, a French seam, and serge-finished seams without a serger

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

What students receive:

• Guided assistance from our knowledgeable instructor

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

• A 10% off coupon to use in our store!
