Beginner Sewing Class - The Reversible Full Apron

This beginner sewing class is designed for students with no previous sewing experience. If you have ever wanted to learn how to sew on a button, fix a torn seam, or start sewing as a hobby, this class is a great place to begin.

Students will learn basic hand-sewing and sewing machine skills while using common sewing tools. Instruction includes sewing safety, simple hand-sewing stitches, and introductory sewing machine techniques. As students practice, they will build fine motor skills, focus, patience, and hand-eye coordination. Participants will also complete a beginner-level reversible full apron project and gain confidence using their new sewing skills.

Join us to explore your creativity, learn a practical life skill, and discover the enjoyment of sewing.
