About

Our Learn to Sew classes were designed for anyone new to sewing, to gain new skills and have good practices reinforced. Skills covered in this class include cutting with a rotary cutter, sewing with a consistent seam allowance, looking at the typical "order of operations" for a sewing project, and gaining more confidence using a sewing machine.

Projects in this series included a drawstring bag (focusing on making a casing and buttonholes) in March, a simple tote bag (focused on sewing a larger project and applying a magnetic snap) in April, an apron (how to apply bias binding and topstitch) in early May and this pillow class, offered during the day in May, and during the evening June (this class!).

Details:

  • Skill Level: Beginner
  • Registration closes June 18.

Details

A $35 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers light-weight upholstery fabric, zipper, thread, and pillow form.

Project

A 14-inch pillow, learning how to sew heavier fabric, and how to install a zipper.

Prerequisites

You must have completed Orientation to Fiber Sewing Machines.

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
Instructor
Fran Fuller

Fran learned to sew from her mom when she was about 6 and taught herself to knit from a book when she was about 8. This lifelong love of fiber drew her naturally to the Fiber Arts Studio, where, prior to joining staff, she volunteered as lead and sewing programming coordinator. One of her accomplishments as a volunteer was to upgrade much of the studio’s sewing equipment, and among her greatest pleasures is seeing these new tools fuel the creativity of members and guests!
