About

This class is for advanced beginners looking to advance their sewing skills by creating a fanny pack.

Students will learn how to:

• Understand and use sewing patterns
• Install zippers
• Work with interfacing
• Add lining
• Install buckles
• Install adjustable straps

The class will begin with a sewing machine orientation. You will learn how to wind bobbins, sew up your workspace, the basics of using a sewing machine, and how to leave your space for the next user. After taking this orientation, you will be added to the list of certified sewing machine users.

After the machine orientation, we will go over how to read and prepare a pattern, best practices for pattern management, how to prepare fabric for sewing, how to find the grainline, and how to cut out the pattern pieces.

After preparing our fabric, we will begin assembling our fanny packs and work on this each day.
