The actual value of the workshop is $75, and the remaining $75 is a charitable donation. Participants will receive a tax receipt for the donation portion.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Learn essential sewing terminology, how to operate and thread a sewing machine, and practice foundational stitches like straight stitch, backstitch, straight stitch, flat-felled, french seams. You will get to practice these stitches and apply these new skills by creating a simple tote bag. As a bonus if time allows, you’ll make a scrunchie - great for practicing circular stitching and working with elastic.

No prior experience necessary - just bring your enthusiasm!
