You’ll be working with a simple pattern to make a lined tote bag with handles. Practice cutting double layers of fabric, proper pinning, maintaining your seam allowance and backstitching to create a solid foundation for future projects.

This beginner sewing class is one 3-hour session.

Student reviews

My son and I (both complete beginners) had a fabulous Saturday afternoon at the Sewing Machine Essentials workshop. Karyn is a great teacher who explains the basics beautifully. The space is inviting and friendly and we were super proud of our pillow cover projects! Will definitely return for more sewing fun.

I did the sewing essentials class and the instructor Leo was wonderful! She had clear instructions and was available to help anyone struggling with the steps. I highly recommend this class, I look forward to doing more sewing!

I took a ‘Machine Essentials 101’ class and it was fantastic. I had zero sewing experience and walked out feeling a lot more knowledgeable. The instructor (I believe her name is Johanna) was so informative, patient and fun to learn from. Definitely recommend this place!

I took two of their sewing machine essentials classes and had a great time! The staff were friendly and I found the two classes very clear and helpful. The two projects were completely doable and challenging enough for a beginner like me. Lots of cute fabric selection too! Highly recommend!
