Have you always dreamed of sewing but don’t feel comfortable using a sewing machine? Then, join us and master the essentials: setting up and threading your machine, deciphering all those buttons, and discovering the essential tools to make your sewing experience a breeze. We’ll also explore a variety of fabrics, learn how to use them, discover the best places to find them, and take a quick dive into sustainable sewing. And, you’ll get hands-on experience by planning and creating a set of coasters or a card-sized wallet – fun and practical projects that will put your new skills to the test. Sign up today and start your sewing adventure!
