Sewing 101

Have you been intimidated by the idea of using a sewing machine? You're not alone. Let us demystify these awesome power tools for you with these three classes, and you can tackle anything! 

$59 for The Basics

$165 for All Three 101s (save $12)

The three classes will cover the following:

Sewing 101 - The Basics: This is everything you need to get started with your machine. You will make a cord keeper as part of the class.

Sewing 101 - Part 2: You will learn about basic patterns; structure and types of fabrics; types of needles, sewing a button hole, and sewing on a button. You will make an envelope bag as part of the class.

Sewing 101 - Part 3: You will learn how to sew a zipper, troubleshoot your common sewing problems, and how & when to set the tension on your sewing machine. You will make a square-bottom zipper pouch as part of this class.

Price of class includes fabric for your creation, thread and tools available in studio for your use

  • Yes! Everyone over age 9 can take Sewing 101.

  • We provide machines with the class! You do not need to own a sewing machine to take this class. However, if you have your own machine we encourage you to bring it. That way, you can learn on your own machine!

  • Scroll down! You should see our calendar of listings. Just click on which days and times you want, and it will take you directly to the registration page.

  • Absolutely! These classes are designed to teach absolute beginners. In fact, if you have never sewn before, we recommend you start with this series!

  • We can absolutely transfer you to another class! In the event that we have to cancel a class, we will either offer you credit for the class or transfer you to the next available class.

    Unfortunately, we do charge a late cancellation/transfer fee if you give us less than 24 hour notice. You will be transferred to another class, but we can’t transfer you into another class if we don’t know your schedule. Please call us at (210) 375-5241 if you can’t make your class!

  • The big question. A lot of people move on to our Basic Alterations when their done. Others jump directly into our Sew & Steady garment making series. If you don’t care for making or altering garments, we have Sew EZ, our series for everything else (accessories, bags, home projects). It all depends on what you want to make!
