- Build confidence with basic stitches, fabric handling, and seams.
- Begin a small project suited to your experience, with guidance along the way.
Your machine and materials
Have a sewing machine? Use your own so you can learn its features and feel more confident practicing between lessons. If you need a machine, Melanie can provide one; please let her know in advance so arrangements can be confirmed.
Materials for small projects are included in your first two lessons. After that, bring your own materials or pay a small fee to cover the cost of materials Melanie supplies.
