Level 1: Sewing For Beginners

A friendly, beginner-focused workshop that walks you through the basics of using a sewing machine.

After some cutting, you’ll learn how to set up the sewing machine and start sewing your envelope cushion cover. Your teacher will guide the whole group at a comfortable pace, so no one feels left behind.
