CLASSES OFFERED

Sunny days call for a cute hat to offer you some protection from the harsh rays of the sun. But most hats in stores are boring so why not make your own? In class you will learn how to make a fully reversible bucket hat that is as stylish as it is functional.

Welcome to the world of sewing! An in-depth class how to use a sewing machine and its various accessories. We will be making a few pillow covers to practice the basic sewing skills learned.

A button-down shirt is a classic for a reason. Easy to dress up or down, there are very few occasions when wearing one wouldn?t be appropriate. Even better is when it perfectly fits your body instead of being ?close enough.? Always rolling up your sleeves because they?re too short? We?ll make them longer. Buttons gape over the bust? You will learn how to avoid that by changing the button placement. We will go over all the tricky details that can seem intimidating in shirt making such as collars and collar stands, sleeve and button plackets, plus how to have a beautifully finished yoke inside and out. In class we will discuss how to best use striped and plaid fabrics, however we will go easy on ourselves for our first shirts and avoid these patterns and the corresponding level of difficulty.

Are you working on a project only to find yourself struggling and thinking there must be an easier way? Maybe you want some reassurance that you?re headed in the right direction. (We?ve all been there.) We will have an experienced teacher available to answer your questions and demonstrate what you need to do to successfully complete your project. Plus you can use our Bernina sewing machines, huge cutting table and basic sewing supplies. Prerequisite: Sewing 101 or equivalent experience.
