Intro to Sewing 101: Crash Course - For Beginners - Ages 17 and up

Make a Drawstring Bag!

Intro to Sewing Crash Course is a condensed one-day class introduction to basic machine sewing. If you’ve never touched a sewing machine before, if you’re sew-curious, if it’s been a few years and you’re looking for a refresher, or if you have a new machine you’re getting to know, this is a perfect class to jump start your sewing journey.

You’ll learn:

• How to thread a machine
• How to wind a bobbin
• Troubleshoot sewing issues
• Cut fabric
• Sew straight beautiful seams that hold up.
• Make a drawstring bag from start to finish!

Fabric and supplies for your drawstring pouch are included in the supply fee.

You can bring your own machine (please make sure it’s in working order, has the power cord and foot control, and bring or download the manual) or rent one of ours. Please email beehiveclasses@gmail.com to let us know if you need to borrow one of our machines.

We strongly recommend you complete this class or have equivalent experience before taking any of our other machine sewing classes.

This class begins after store closing time at 5pm. The sign will say closed, but the door will remain open for students only. Feel free to arrive prior to class start time at 5:30pm to look around and choose your fabrics for class! Your instructor will be able to ring you up if you'd like to buy any items during class.
