We want to share this wonderful trade skill with anyone regardless of age. Minimum age is 10 but there is no age limit as long as you can run a sewing machine. We hope our classes and workshops can be a mix of generations and genders.
The main difference is that you will complete more sewing projects and learn additional stitching techniques required for those. The additional 3 weeks with the Sewing 101 Workshop allows for more work time and hands on instruction through your projects.
We will provide a supply list on the first day of class but will also post one in the file link if you want to get a head start. We recommend waiting on purchasing fabrics until after the first class so you can know what you are looking for.
Having your own sewing machine is not required to take the classes and workshops! We do recommend getting one though so you can continue your sewing adventures once we are done. We have confidence you will love it so much you will want to do it forever!
Certainly!!!! In fact, we highly recommend that you bring it with you to all classes. This will help you become familiar with your specific machine and make it an easier transition once you are finished and doing projects on your own.
We have provided a list of recommended sewing machines for you to look at. Please check out our files link.
All the things you need to know or things you need to sign!
