Instructor: Simina Mattoo 

As a former Textiles teacher, I absolutely love teaching individuals how to sew! It is a great lifeskill to have and can come in handy for creatives who like to design & create.

In one-on-one sewing lessons, students will get an introduction to the basics of sewing and will create a tote bag to showcase their skills & learning. 

What students will learn:

• Parts of the Sewing Machine
• How to thread & operate a Sewing Machine
• Seam Allowance
• About Fabric (Selvage Edge, Grainline, Crosswise/Lengthwise Grain, etc.)
• About Patterns (how to cut, how to read, notches, markings)
• Basic Sewing Skills 

Students are more than welcome to bring in their own sewing machine or use the sewing machines at our shop.

*This class is also open to those who have basic sewing skills &are working on a sewing project and need guidance/help*
