This six week IN-PERSON class is the perfect way to get started with machine sewing. In class, you’ll learn the basic garment skills you need by sewing pajama pants: a fun, simple project that’s perfect for beginners. As a bonus, Technocopia sewing machine certification is included, which means that if you are a member you are certified to use the sewing machines in the Textile Studio (under 16 with certified adult supervision) whenever you'd like!

In this class you will take your first steps into garment construction with ample, expert support. We will cover the following skills while creating your project:

Working with a base pattern

How to find and use free online pdf patterns

Making adjustments to the paper pattern for fit and design

Tracing off a durable re-usable pattern

Choosing, prepping, and ironing fabric

Discovering tips and tricks for cutting out fabric pieces accurately and efficiently

Garment construction

Pinning or clipping

Sewing

Making an elastic waistband

Marking the back for ease of wearing

Finishing – hemming

Embellishing

 Adding trims (optional)

Adding hem cuffs (optional)

 At the end of this class you will have a finished wearable garment and a pattern that you can use over and over again to make many more!

The base pattern, tracing materials, waistband elastic and all necessary tools will be provided in class. You will need to purchase your own fabric and thread. We will go over how to choose the appropriate materials and how much you will need in the first class so you do not need to buy these in advance.
