About this event
In this hands-on beginner workshop, participants will learn to operate a sewing machine with confidence. No experience required. Whether you’ve never touched a machine or you’re convinced you “just aren’t crafty,” this class will gently guide you through the basics while building your comfort and skills step by step. You’ll learn how to thread and care for a sewing machine, practice essential hand stitches, and get familiar with the core tools every sewist should know. Along the way, you’ll create two useful starter projects: a customized pin cushion with a matching pin-cushion bag, plus a small safety-pin bag. You’ll leave with handmade sewing tools and the confidence to continue your sewing journey.
