Guy's Night: Learn to Sew
Never used a sewing machine before? This is the class for you!
Learn beginner sewing skills including how to use a sewing machine,
fabric selection, and making three useful projects during this three
session class. Quilt shops tend to be pretty female dominated, so we've created this class just for guys to get started in sewing.
Class 1: During the first class you’ll meet the
Baby Lock Brilliant Sewing Machine and learn all about how a basic
sewing machine works: threading, winding a bobbin, selecting your
stitch, and more. Jump into your first project by stitching up a
pillowcase to take home at the end of the first class. We’ll help you
select fabric and you’ll learn to use a rotary cutter, mat, and ruler
for perfectly straight cuts.
Class 2: You’ll sew a catch all tray. While making the tray you’ll learn about different types of stabilizers, boxing corners, topstitching, and more.
Class
3: For the final class, we’ll tackle one of everyone’s biggest fears . .
. zippers! But no need to be afraid, thanks to our tips you’ll be ready
to sew zippers in everything. You'll also have the opportunity to work with faux leather. You’ll leave class with a lined travel toiletry bag.
The $75 class fee includes nine hours of instruction time,
three printed patterns, and use of the Baby Lock Brilliant Sewing
Machine. You will also need to purchase fabric and supplies during each
class. To give you an idea, additional supplies for class will cost
approximately $50. Your cost will vary based on fabrics selected.
