Foundations of Sewing
It's time to learn to sew! Sewing, or, the act of joining something with stitches, has been considered somewhat of a lost art in recent decades. Less and less people are passing down their sewing knowledge to the next generation, as it is no longer a necessity in daily life. However, the popularity of sewing has been making a resurgence in the past few years, as more and more people yearn to create something useful out of a piece of fabric and some thread. If you are one of those people, then the first step is signing up for this class!
You will learn how to: wind a bobbin, thread a machine, change a machine needle, use pins, begin and end a seam, sew a straight seam using seam allowance, sew basic machine stitches, unpick a seam, finish seams, press seams, the importance of taking breaks and stretching, read a pattern, use a rotary cutter with acrylic ruler and cutting mat to cut fabric, and make a cloth napkin.
