Sewing is one of the most rewarding skills you can learn!

Join us in the studio for a hands-on beginner class where new sewists and makers will learn the ins and outs of a sewing machine.

Kids get to choose their fabrics during class, and by the end they will have an adorable finished knot bag and the skills, knowledge, and confidence to continue sewing! 

All materials are included in the price. NOTE: kids can optt o bring their own machines if they would like. Otherwise our sewing machines are available during class.
