BASIC SEWING



BASIC SEWING 1, 2  3 and 4
Lynne will explain how to select and read a pattern, purchase the proper fabric for your project, and how to prepare it before sewing. In class you lay out your fabric and cut out the pattern. Then you will sew your project learning and using different stitches on your sewing machine. Each student will receive individualized help from Lynne. Basic Sewing techniques will be demonstrated and shared with the whole class. 

If you do not own a machine, we have machines for you to use in class and we can help you choose which machine is
best for you to purchase. The series is 4 weeks and the cost is $90.
