Sewing Machine Essentials

Always wanted to learn how to sew but the machine feels… complicated? We’ve got you.

Curious about sewing but not sure where to start? In this beginner friendly workshop you’ll learn the essentials of using a sewing machine while creating a small quilted project. We’ll cover how to thread the machine, wind a bobbin, sew straight seams, and practice simple quilting techniques using fabric scraps. Participants will explore how pieces come together through shape, pattern, and repeating quilt blocks while designing their own quilted piece. Students may choose to create a microwaveable rice heating pad, perfect for soothing sore muscles or staying cozy.

• Sewing machines, fabric, and materials will be provided.
• All skill levels welcome.
• Only 8 spots available.
• For students 16+.
• Instructor: Ashley Pastore

Classroom: Mixed Media Studio, Room 125.
