Sewing classes - Open project in Montreal
Do you have a dress, pants, or a bag in mind, but get stuck as soon as the pattern becomes complicated? The Open Project course is your project, at your own pace, with an instructor by your side for every tricky step.
You choose what you want to sew and bring your pattern. We help you understand it, cut your fabric, assemble it, and do the finishing touches. You leave with your project and, most importantly, with the techniques to do it again on your own.
Depending on the scope of your project, you may have a few steps left to finish at home. Your instructor will help you plan your work so you can make as much progress as possible during class.
Good to know: participants in the Introduction and Open Project courses are in the same group. Everyone works on their own project with an instructor who moves between the machines.

How to choose the right sewing course?

Choose Initiation and free project and check Initiation ($28 of materials for the 1st project).
You will learn the basic operation of the sewing machine starting with the first mandatory project, a zippered pouch, the first 2 weeks. You will then be able to make a free project by choosing it with the help of the teacher.

Choose Initiation and Free Project , do not check Initiation!
