Getting to Know Your Sewing Machine - Lined Drawstring Bag

Instructor: Jessee Maloney / http://www.artschooldropout.net
Skills Requirements: None
Time: 2.5 hours
Price: $45 (This fee includes some supplies)

Do you have a sewing machine, but don't know how to use it? Don't feel confident using it? Have questions about specific functions? Or would like more guidance? Then this would be a great class for you!

We will be making a simple lined drawstring bag (pattern by Jeni Baker) that will allow us to learn about different stitches, attachments, tension, proper way to wind a bobbin and more. Plus you will learn basic sewing construction for a fully lined drawstring bag. You will be required to bring your own machine, we have a very limited amount of machines on hand currently. This will most likely change for future classes.
