About This Activity
Learn the basics of machine sewing and troubleshooting problems while working on three fun projects. As we learn about machine sewing, we'll be making an envelope pillow with insert, a pillowcase using the roll-up method, and a zippered pouch. Skills learned will include basic sewing machine care and problem solving; preparing, measuring, and cutting fabric; sewing French seams; installing a zipper; and using various machine feet. We will also learn what to do when things go wrong (varies by class). Please bring a working sewing machine if you have one as there will be only a limited number of machines available. Sandy Clement has been teaching sewing classes for over 10 years. She has sewn since she was a child and has found it to be a valuable life-long skill. She has helped with costuming for local school and theater groups.
