S400 - Sewing Workshop: Machine Basics

Location: AC102 Fibers & Textiles Studio

Instructor: Laura Schley

This beginner sewing workshop will introduce you to machine sewing. Students will learn foundational skills that include how to read a pattern, basic stitches, the properties of common fabrics, and sewing machine skills and maintenance. Students will learn on our class machines but will have the option to bring in their own machine during the course to troubleshoot with instructors. This is a great option for those that just need a little guidance to get started on their sewing journey!
