Sewing 101

In this workshop, you will learn all the basics of the timeless craft of sewing. You'll learn how to wind a bobbin, thread the machine, execute basic stitches, alter a hem, and mount a variety of buttons. Finally, you'll put your new skills to use and make a beautiful throw pillow that you can use in your home or gift to a friend.
