A hem is when you take the edge of a fabric, fold it over and then sew it down. In this class you are invited to bring in your own clothing or items that need to be shortened/hemmed at the ends.
This could be shirts with sleeves that are too long, cropping tops, or shortening jeans. *Please note that stretchy, knit, and extremely thin fabrics are not beginner friendly. Go for cottons and other medium weight textiles. Experience threading/setting up a sewing machine is recommended to attend this class.
You’re invited to interweave yourself into the community through this expansive beginner’s sewing series. Your instructor, Jackie Drummond (they/she), will be guiding you through the basics of using a sewing machine and various stitching and sewing methods through all of February. You can come to each lesson or hop around into whatever class, skill or interest calls you!
All supplies will be provided. Appropriate for adults and teens 13 and older. Space is limited; registration required. Please visit our online calendar to register.
