________

Ms. Erin will be leading your beginner sewing class adventure!

This sewing class is 7 weeks long. Each class will build on the previous class with built-in "catchup days". This is a beginner sewing class for all ages. This class will explore projects and ideas to grow their knowledge in machine and hand sewing as well as hand embroidery art.

We will be learning basic sewing techniques by creating pouches, pillows, and MORE! 

If you have a machine at home that you will be using, please bring it to class each week. It’s important to learn on the machine you will be using. IF you do not have a machine to bring, you may pay an extra fee ($40 one time) to use a class machine while you decide if you want to purchase your own machine. 

We recommend full size machines for this class. The small “beginner” or “child-friendly” machines are too small and not worth the short amount of time they would be used. Your child will learn the proper procedures and safety protocols needed to handle a full size machine. They will have much more success for a longer time using a standard sized machine. 

If you have an older machine that you do not know if it works or not, please email erin.boyer22@gmail.com to set up a time to drop it off for maintenance prior to the class. There is a $50 fee to clean and oil the machine.

Machine Recommendations:

Singer Heavy Duty or Simple. We do not recommend buying a digital machine.
