Beginner Sewing Class - The Bucket Hat

Start sewing with a fun, hands-on class designed just for beginners. No experience needed. Learn basic sewing skills in a supportive, easy-to-follow setting where you will get comfortable using a sewing machine, try simple hand stitches and follow essential safety steps. You will build focus, patience and hand-eye coordination while picking up useful skills like sewing on a button or fixing a seam. By the end of class, you will complete a reversible bucket hat to take home and wear. This class is a great first step into sewing and a hobby you can enjoy for years. This class is only for beginners with no prior sewing experience. Class may end early based on pace.
