Adult Learn-To-Sew Program - BLOCK 2

Refine Techniques, Build New Skills. 

Block 2 is a continuation from Block 1 - Do not purchase this product if you have not completed Block 1. Learn more about Block 1. 

In this 6-session block, you’ll learn essential sewing techniques while completing two projects: a pocket Tote Bag to practice your precision and structure, and a pair of stretchy Lounge Pants to introduce you to garment sewing. These projects are designed to teach the basics in a hands-on, encouraging environment—so you leave with real skills and things you’re proud to say you made.

This block is all about refining your technique and building new skills. By this point you will feel confident setting up your sewing machine and practicing straight stitches. This block focuses on precision sewing by attaching a pocket to your bag, along with an easy introduction to sewing with stretch fabrics through a lounge pant project.

Included with your course fee:

• 6 instructor-led drop-in sessions (2 hours each)

• Materials for your first project (the tote bag)

• 15% off supplies for your lounge pants project

• Personalized progress folder to track your learning

• Access to 3–4 session times per week to fit your schedule

• Use of equipment and tools available at the studio (including sewing machines)
  
  

• A supportive, creative sewing community
