In this class we will focus on simple beginner projects to get the sewists comfortable with sewing. Some projects might be duplicated but for the more advanced or confident beginners or those not new to class, adjustments will be made to add a bit more challenge to the project.
An example of some projects this next month will be, coasters or mug rugs, simple tote bags, zipper pouches, fabric scrap bins, place mats.

Come with a project idea, have access to machines and our workspace with moral support and an experienced sewist to offer guidance as needed. Supplies are not included but they will have help selecting the appropriate supplies for their project.

This is such a simple and quick make but some of the steps can be a little odd feeling so...let's do a class. Once you see and do the steps, you'll be easily making these at home for all sorts of reasons. Adjust the sizing easily to make a bigger blanket or even napkins, the steps are all the same.
kits available to purchase or pick out fabric before class starts.
In this bite sized class we will tackle a new block every month using a variety of different techniques. Some blocks you can expect to learn are the Churn Dash, Flying Geese, Pineapple Block, Economy Block, 9 patch and more.

Have you been wanting to try your hand at sewing with knits but find yourself putting it off for some reason? Well NOW is the time to give it a try. We'll start out with a very simple pulloever, the Toaster Sweater from Sew House Seven. Yes yes, we're heading in to spring and summer and you may be thinking now is not the time to be sewing a cozy pulloever but I say it's the perfect time. And you know as well as I do that we won't have warm weather until July.
The Toaster Sweater has 2 versions, you may select whichever version you would like to make. In a lighter knit, Version 2 would be alovely summer evening pullover.
The Toaster Sweater is a beginner friendly make and sews up quickly and simply and 1 full day SHOULD be enough. If you need an extra work day you can come in for a follow up day on Sunday.
supply list will be emailed with class sign up.
