Thursday - July 9 - 10:00am-12:00pm
Ages: 14+
Prerequisite: This class is for those who have taken Beginner Sewing 1 or know how to use a sewing machine.
Description: This class is for those who want to continue developing knowledge of how to use a sewing machine. and some of the tools associated with construction. We review what most machines can do, such as stitch variations, stitch length and width, zig zag capabilities, gathering stitch, and darning stitch. Students may learn techniques such as top-stitching, double-fold hem, tucks, and stitch-in-the-ditch. Apply some skills by making a simple project as time allows.
Materials Included: Sewing machines, fabrics and all necessary tools and materials
Instructor: Amanda has taught middle/ elementary school for over 12 years and discovered garment sewing in 2018 by making a simple woven top and was immediately hooked. Since then, she has learned many more sewing techniques & skills while working toward a goal of crafting a completely handmade wardrobe. Sewing has helped her find more joy and acceptance of her body, cultivate a sense of environmental stewardship, and develop mindful clothing practices. She hopes to share this feeling of confidence and empowerment with others on their sewing journey. Her approach toward garment sewing is mindful, sustainable, and inclusive of all sized bodies.
Location: All classes take place UPSTAIRS in our CREATIVE SPACE unless otherwise noted. Use the exterior stairs on the side of the building to enter.
