Re-Introduction to Sewing - a.k.a Sip & Sew

The objective of this workshop is to re-aquaint sewing and the sewing machine to sewists who have some experience.  The basic anatomy of the sewing machine will be reviewed, along with some common troubleshooting.  

 

You can either bring your own machine, along with its users manual, or I can provide a machine for you to use.  You will take away three sewn projects, items to level up your bar and cocktail game, a set of 4 cocktail napkins, a double-old-fashioned cozy, and a 4-bottle tote bag.

Dates TBD
