Skill level requirement: this is NOT a learn to sew class; you must have sewn in the recent past, and be confident operating a sewing machine independently. See below for more info. If you're a total beginner, check out our Sewing 101 Workshops.

Whether you're a sewing newbie or a confident beginner wanting to tackle zipper projects, this class is for you! Our expert instructor will teach you sewing basics while you make two lined zipper pouches: One larger pouch, perfect for makeup or an on-the-go project bag, and a second, smaller pouch, ideal for change, credit cards... you name it! Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Basic intro to a sewing machine, including how to sew a straight seam.
  • How to cut fabric accurately
  • Pinning and sewing seams
  • How to create a lining for each pouch
  • How to sew a squared, flat bag bottom
  • How to install a zipper

Basic sewing experience and comfort using a sewing machine is required for this workshop!
