Always wanted to try a sewing machine, but would like a guided tour and practice before investing in one? Join Nicole and Monique for an evening of getting to know the parts of a sewing machine, learn tips and tricks for accurate seams, and practice maneuvering around curves and corners. We'll finish off the evening with a very simple cover for a 20"x20" throw pillow.
DESCRIPTION: Topics we'll cover in this workshop:
- Introducing participants to standard sewing machine parts and their function.
- Participants will learn to wind a bobbin and thread a machine.
- Participants will run through several sewing exercises to practice operating a sewing machine.
- We'll review the most basic seams and stitch types and sewing techniques.
- Participants will learn to sew fabric and create seams to join multiple layers of fabric together.
- Participants will finish off with a simple throw pillow cover to practice their skills.
WHEN:
- Wednesday October 29th, 6-9pm
