Nov. Learn to Sew Saturday: A Beginner Sewing Workshop

A Beginner Sewing Workshop for Adults & Teens 17+ A Beginner Sewing Workshop for Adults & Teens 17+ Have a sewing machine but don't really know how to use it? Or maybe you've always wanted to learn to sew but didn't know where to start? Join Leslie Ann Studios for a relaxed, hands-on Saturday designed for absolute beginners! We'll spend the morning learning the basics of a sewing machine, practicing essential skills, and getting comfortable with the machine. After a lunch break, we'll put those skills to work as we create a simple beginner-friendly project you can take home. No previous sewing experience is necessary and no machine needed- use mine! ✂️ What You'll Learn During this workshop, we'll cover: • How to set up a sewing machine • The basic parts of your machine • How to thread your machine • How to wind and insert a bobbin • How to select a stitch • How to adjust stitch length • How to sew a straight seam • How to backstitch and secure your seams • Understanding seam allowances • How to sew corners • Basic fabric and sewing tips • How to feel more comfortable using your machine Then we'll use those skills to complete a simple beginner sewing project. With class sizes limited to just 4 students, you'll receive plenty of individual guidance in a relaxed, welcoming environment. (Exact Address of home studio is given upon registration and is near T.L. Hanna High School.) 🕙 Your Saturday Schedule 10:00 AM–12:00 PM 🧵 Sewing Basics & Machine Practice We'll learn the machine, practice threading and bobbin basics, and work on basic sewing skills. 12:00–1:30 PM 🥪 Lunch Break Bring your lunch or grab something nearby. This is a true break—go relax and recharge! 1:30–3:30 PM ✂️ Beginner Sewing Project We'll put our new skills to work and complete a simple project together. 🧵 What About Sewing Machines? I have two sewing machines available for class use. Because this is a small class of up to 4 students, students may share a machine and rotate during portions of the class. If you would prefer to have your own machine to use throughout the class, you are welcome to bring your own beginner-friendly machine. Don't have a machine yet? No problem! If you'd like to purchase the same machine we'll be using in class, I recommend the Brother XR3774. It's a beginner-friendly mechanical machine with 37 built-in stitches, an automatic needle threader, drop-in bobbin, and wide table.

You can take the class first and decide afterward if sewing is something you'd like to pursue!
