Toronto Craft Alert

Beginner Sewing

If you have never sewn before, never thread a needle or held a thimble, this is the class for you.
Master your fear of machines! In this course, you’ll learn the fundamental stitches and the uses of needles, work on small projects to increase your level of comfort with the sewing machine and serger. Students will also learn different types of hand stitching and seam finishing. You will also learn how to use commercial patterns, how to take a full set of measurements, and about different types of fabric and their preparations.
Students will also learn basic zipper applications.
You will apply all these basic sewing techniques to your project. Ladies can create a SIMPLE SKIRT, PANTS, or SHORTS and gentlemen can create simple pants or shorts (or a skirt if you like!).
Our students also work on small starter projects, one of which is making beds for dogs and cats at The Toronto Humane Society.

No sewing skills required. Perfect for absolute beginners or those who want to learn proper sewing techniques.
