Learn to Sew 101: Apron

Have you always wanted to learn how to sew but aren't sure where to start? Or maybe you've had some experience with a sewing machine, but need a refresher? This is the class for you! We will teach you everything you need to know in order to take our Beginner (102) classes.

In this class, we will be making an apron. One side is a durable canvas and the reverse is a fun, newsprint cotton with twill straps.

This class will cover:

• How to set up and use a sewing machine
• How to cut the fabric using a pattern
• How to properly sew and finish your apron

Skill level: ✂️

You've seen a sewing machine before, but you've never played with one, or if you have given it a try, you'd really love a little extra help to make sure you're doing it correctly.

Supply List: We will provide everything you need for this class!

*This class comes with one free daily membership to Hello Stitch so that you can come and work on your project with the help of the Hello Stitch Staff.
