Beginner Sewing Class for Adults

About this experience

Welcome to beginner sewing! Learning to sew on a machine can be a very rewarding and useful skill. This course will cover basic sewing machine operations: changing sewing machine feet, using the stitch selector, winding bobbins, minor trouble shooting, sewing a zipper, button holes and buttons, and other useful knowledge such as fabric choices and simple projects beginners can do with their new skills on a sewing machine as time and progression permit.
