Beginning Sewing

If you're new to sewing, start here!

We'll be with you every step of the way as you learn how to thread and use your sewing machine, read a garment sewing pattern, and sew a simple project selected from a curated collection of patterns appropriate for beginning sewists.

Now with extra sewing time!

You will choose your fabric and pattern the first night of class.

This class has 5 sessions and meets once a week.

• sewing machine in good working order, with bobbins and machine accessories (or call us if you'd like to borrow one of ours)
  
• ***Please DO NOT waste your money on a mini sewing machine. Most do not work. You will be frustrated and not enjoy sewing.***
• 1/2 yard cotton muslin for practice stitching
  
  
• Additionally, please plan to spend $30 - $50 for fabric for your class project. Pattern is included in the cost of the class. Selections will be made during the first class. 
  
• Eversewn Sewing Starter Kit or the BASIC SEWING SUPPLIES listed below. 

You will also need the following BASIC SEWING SUPPLIES:

• sewing scissors (of a quality for fabric only - we love Kai and Eversewn)

• bobbins that fit your sewing machine (most new machines use a class 15 plastic bobbin)

• tape measure

• straight pins

• seam ripper

• 6" seam gauge

• washable fabric marker or chalk pencil

• one package of assorted size Universal sewing machine needles
