PLEASE READ: ✨ Fast-Track Beginner Sewing Series ✨
This 4-week series is your introduction to sewing! In just four classes, you’ll learn how to use a sewing machine from scratch and create a set of fun, beginner-friendly projects.
Because space is limited, my classes run a little differently than traditional sewing courses. I’ll guide you step by step, but you’ll also have some homework in between — like cutting out your patterns and fabrics at home. Don’t worry! I’ll always review your work before you make any cuts. This way, we can maximize our class time for actual sewing.
👉 If you sign up, come prepared for more than just showing up to class — you’ll be learning, sewing, and completing prep assignments outside of class too!
📅 Schedule: This series meets for 4 weeks, with one scheduled break in between. Please double-check the dates before registering — I’m unable to offer make-up classes or refunds if you miss a session.
SEWING MACHINES & TOOLS ✨ For this series: You’ll have access to my BRAND NEW PINK Singer Heavy Duty sewing machines (so no need to lug yours around!).
If you’d like, you’re welcome to bring your own machine in later classes — but it’s much easier to just arrive at the studio where everything is ready for you.
All tools are provided: sergers, scissors, notions, thread, etc.
The only additional cost is one required pattern (details shared after booking). Pattern cost: $16.00.
FABRICS, MATERIALS, CLASS STRUCTURE:
