Learning the Sewing Machine for Complete Beginners | 4-27-25

Do you have a sewing machine that you don't know how to use? Bring it to class and I'll teach you!

This class is for complete beginners. We'll go over the basics of turning your machine on, threading it, learning how to use different stitches, and basic sewing machine troubleshooting and maintenance. In this class, you'll learn the main tools needed for sewing and foundational skills to take into your home sewing practice. To practice the machine, we'll make a simple tote bag.

We will approach sewing with an anti-perfectionist mindset and stay curious and enjoy the process of learning a skill that will open the door to making and repairing your own clothes. If you would like to borrow a machine (I have one extra) please email me before class to reserve it. I will have tools on hand to borrow during class and will also be emailing a list of what you'll need to bring with. 

You'll leave class with a finished tote bag, an instructional guide and the knowledge of how to use your sewing machine. 

Class will be held at Rosemarine Textiles studio in Hamtramck, Sunday April 27th from 11:30am-2:30pm. This class will be limited to 5 participants. If you're unable to attend, please notify me before class begins and you will receive a store credit.
