Sewing Classes - Beginner - Adults in Montreal
Have you never touched a sewing machine? That is exactly the starting point for this course.
We start together with a zippered pouch. It is the perfect project to get comfortable with the machine, cut your fabric, and install your first zipper without stress. Afterward, you choose your next projects with the help of your instructor and advance at your own pace.
By the end of the 5 classes, you will know how to thread and use your machine, read a pattern, trace and cut your fabric, and understand sewing vocabulary. You will leave with your finished pouch. Your second project may remain to be finished at home or in an à la carte class, depending on its scope. Your instructor will help you choose a realistic project for the session.
Good to know: participants from the Initiation and Open Project courses are in the same group. Each works on their own project with an instructor who circulates between the machines.
