SUPPORTED SEWING FOR ALL

“I wish I knew how to sew.” 

“I have my grandmas old machine, but I don’t know how to use it.”

“I have so many things I’d like to fix/alter/hem but I need help getting started!“

If you see yourself in any of these statements, this is the class for you!  Come sew together at 33 Hawley with an experienced instructor at your disposal. This class is appropriate for all levels, from beginner to seasoned sewist, whether you want to get started with your machine, level up your machine sewing skills, or get a jump start on your mending pile.  Experienced sewists may want to tackle a more complex project like sewing from a pattern, “cloning” a favorite garment, or altering your clothes so they fit the way you want them to!

Materials: a working sewing machine, a spool of good quality, all purpose thread (example, Gutermann or Coates and Clark), an empty bobbin spool, a seam ripper, and straight pins 

Project materials are dependent on what you want to make/ what skills you want to build.  We will discuss personalized project plans during the first class and determine exactly what you need then. You can also bring in clothing that you wish to modify- things that need hemming, mending, size adjustments, or pockets added.
