Beginner Sewing Machine Workshop: Make a Tote Bag

Beginner Sewing Machine Workshop

Curious about sewing but not sure where to start? This beginner friendly workshop is the perfect introduction to using a sewing machine while creating a practical project you can actually use.

In this 3-hour class, you'll learn the basics of your sewing machine, including threading, winding a bobbin and sewing straight seams. We will practice on scrap fabrics first and then move on to sewing a simple tote bag from start to finish. All tote pieces will be pre-cut so you can focus on learning the sewing machine and building confidence.

This class is designed for beginners - no sewing experience required - or anyone looking to refresh their sewing skills. The pace is relaxed and supportive and there's plenty of time for questions and one-on-one help. By the end of the workshop you will leave with a finished tote bag and the skills to continue sewing at home or sign up for another class!
