About this event

  • Free venue parking

In visions of our lives now and in the future, we hope for and create the room to be ourselves with one another, however we choose to. The capacity to clothe ourselves and our communities, offers us a new form of care and self-determination.

Join us in the PLACE Makery for a beginners sewing class, no prior experience required. In this half-day class, you’ll learn basics of machine sewing and item construction. All students will walk away with their very first sewing project! Sewing machines and materials are provided.

This course will use all donated and recycled materials, offering us the opportunity to create new life from what we already have. With the intention of gentle and attentive instruction, all classes are capped at 6 students.

All participants are asked to mask the entirety of the class. We consider COVID safety our priority, and require all students to wear high filtration masks through the entirety of the class. Masks are provided, if you don't have them! We run an air purifier as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring anything?

You are welcome to bring a sewing machine and/or fabric if you'd like. It is not necessary though, as we have machines and pre-cut fabrics available for use.

Do I need to have any experience to take this class?

Not at all!

If I have some experience, is this class for me?

Reviewing basic information and practicing is always worthwhile. You can take this class, or look into our intermediate classes!

What is your refund policy?

If you let us know 5 days before class begins, you will receive a class credit for the future. Due to the small nature of these classes, it is difficult to fill the spot with shorter notice.
