Stitch Buddies

Get ready to stitch, learn, and create! This sewing class is a weekly 5-class series designed for beginners who want to build skills while making fun, practical projects. Participants are expected to cover the cost of any materials they use, but costs will not exceed $20 per series. 

In the first five class series, students will learn the basics of sewing—how to use a sewing machine, work with fabric, and follow simple patterns—while making a custom apron from start to finish.

After completing the first series, students can sign up for the second series, where they’ll level up their skills by sewing a bag. Complete that series and you’re ready for the third series, where students will create a handy project pouch to store their sewing tools or works-in-progress.

Each series builds on the last, helping students grow their confidence, skills, and creativity in a fun and supportive environment.
