If you're interested in learning to sew garments, this is the class for you. We'll offer small group instruction to a max of 8 students per session, starting with the basics and graduating to increasing their sewing skills with each project. Students will work at their own pace to complete 2+ projects during the 6 week session. Classes meet for 2 hours per week. Each participant must have a sewing machine. We have a limited number of sewing machines available to rent during class sessions, so if you would like to rent one, please check with us for availability prior to registering.

This class can be repeated and in subsequent classes the participant can choose their projects and the instructor will be available to mentor them throughout.

This class is best for ages 16 and above.
