how it works?

This is a very complete class, designed for those who have never sewn with a machine and want to have their first experience or remember what they need to start sewing alone.

​

The class is focused on controlling the domestic straight machine, the most used at home, for those who sew as a hobby or as part of the creative process. We teach everything from preparing it for sewing with passing lines and adjusting stitches, we do exercises to train pedal and fabric coordination when sewing, until you can make straight lines and curves in the seam.

​

After this first moment of recognizing the machine, we will create a simple project - an envelope-shaped bag - which includes several finishes commonly used in clothing and other sewing objects: hemming, French seam, finishing of zig zag edges, buttonholes. button and stitching. If you are interested, we can cover sewing knitted fabrics (fabrics that stretch) on an overlock machine, as well as adaptation techniques for sewing this type of fabric on a straight machine.

​

At the end of the class you can take this bag home and use it for whatever you want to store - or, if you want to join one of our group sewing classes the Clothing LAB , you will be able to store your ongoing project in it :)
