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.
