About this event
Ready to build on your sewing skills? Sewing Basics: Bowl Cozy is designed for participants who have feel comfortable using a sewing machine. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll continue developing your machine sewing skills while creating a functional bowl cozy. This session reinforces core sewing fundamentals such as accurate seam allowances, consistent stitching, and fabric control, while introducing new skills like working with batting and sewing multiple layered materials together. You’ll learn why quilting is necessary when using batting, how it stabilizes the layers, and how proper stitching keeps your project safe and durable. As you construct your bowl cozy, you’ll practice precision sewing, shaping techniques, and clean finishing methods. Instructors will also share tips for efficiency, accuracy, and troubleshooting as you work. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a completed bowl cozy and a stronger understanding of layered sewing techniques. This class is an ideal next step for makers interested in quilting, home goods, or more advanced textile projects at MadJax. All materials and equipment are provided. This program is FREE to current Maker Space Members (use coupon: MEMBER) or $25 for guests. Space is limited.
