Learn Your Sewing Machine, Feb 19

 
This class is geared for folks who have their own sewing machine but need a little help getting started with using it, learning to sew a simple but useful totebag!
 
What to bring: 
Please bring your sewing machine along with all of the basic supplies that came with it, including the foot pedal and power cord. Don't forget to bring the manual that came with your machine. If you've lost it or if you bought a used one and it didn't come with a manual you should be able to find a copy online, oftentimes free! If you do have to download a manual online, please have it printed ahead of class, so that you can make any notes needed during class.
Other materials needed: 
  • Universal sewing needle size 90/12  or 100/16.  (If your fabric is heavy weight such as denim, heavy canvas or upholstry, you might need what is referred to as a denim needle. 
  • spool of thread
  • bobbin that goes with your machine
  • fabric scissors and thread snips (if you don't have we will have some on hand)
  • approximately 1 yard of fabric. Exact dimensions of fabric needed: 28 by 36 inches.  You will want fabric that is sturdy enough to be a useful tote, so quilting cotton or light to midweight canvas (even upholstery fabric!) are good choices. 
You can buy your fabric and thread at SCRAP! Just be sure to allow enough time for necessary shopping before the class starts.

Learn to Read and Use a Garment Sewing Pattern, Mar 12

This class is geared for people who are interested in sewing their own clothing but need a little help getting started with reading sewing patterns. 
No sewing machine needed for this class. 
 
We will discuss: 
  • understanding pattern markings
  • measurements (both how to take your own body measurement and determining which pattern size to make based on the finished garment measurements) 
  • how to pick the right fabric for your pattern
  • How to transfer the correct pattern onto tracing paper to use for cutting your fabric and to make any pattern adjustments
  • simple pattern adjustments such as pattern grading between sizes, adjusting for height
  • If time allows we can also discuss things like bust adjustments, altering rise in pants
What to bring: 
  • Roll of tracing paper (you might be able to buy some at scrap). Just regular art type tracing paper is fine, as long as it's wide enough. Ideally 24 inches but if it's narrower you can always tape it together
  • Pen and Paper for taking notes
  • Scissors (don't use your fabric scissors as this will dull them!)
