Class Description

Description

Don't be afraid of your sewing machine!  Book and then schedule a time that works for you.  The calendar shows availability every Monday evening, but other dates/times possible. An email will be sent with sign up to discuss a date/time that works for both of us.  Generally I am available weekday/end evenings and some Friday mornings.

Always wanted to learn how to sew, or have a special project you need help with, but a bit intimidated? Here's where to start!

In this 3 hour class you will learn how to thread a sewing machine, bobbin and sew straight seams, and zig zag. Students will get an overview of how the machine works, basic care and stitching. At the end of class students will have made a tote bag, pillow, or apron! If there's time, we can sneak some decorating in! 

Students are also welcome to bring in something they've been working. If you have a project in mind, let us know. You are more than welcome to bend the class to suit your needs. An email will be sent with more info and questions about what you hope to accomplish.  A private lesson is always the best way to learn, but definitely fun with a friend. You are welcome to book with a friend or two.

  • Private Sewing Lesson; 3 hours

    Karin was patient, very encouraging and a great teacher. I learned a ton!
  • Private Sewing Lesson; 3 hours

    I feel comfortable and confident to use a sewing machine after this class, I got so much more from learning one-on-one than in a five day group course I took somewhere else many years ago. Karin is a wonderful, patient and encouraging teacher, her studio is so spacious and it was a great experience! Will definitely go back for other classes.
