Sewing Machine Certification for Sewists
If you've sewn in the past, even just a bit, here's your opportunity for quick certification on BARN's machines.
Learn BARN’s expectations of using its sewing machines so you can use them on your own. If you have a basic understanding of sewing, and want to sew in a community setting at BARN, this will earn you certification for independent use of BARN sewing machines.
You’ll learn the importance of such things as setup, threading, and machine capabilities. Feel free to bring a pattern or fabric to share with the instructor for a class discussion.
Instructor
Jana has been in to creating and fixing since her mother first showed her how to thread a sewing machine. She has participated in the John Campbell Folk School work study program and has taken classes in cake decorating, quilting, wood turning, weaving, calligraphy, and more. As a librarian, she created engaging programs teaching adults new skills such as making sushi, making cheese, and fabric dying. While she leans towards practical crafts, she'll try anything once.
