About the Sewing Program

 

Learning to sew requires time and patience, but it is fun and rewarding! Weekly classes at Room to Sew allow students the opportunity to learn at their own pace, while small class sizes (4 -6 students per weekly class ) give ample time for instruction. Projects are based upon skill level and student interest, maintaining a positive and encouraging experience while advancing skills. Sewing machines and basic  tools are provided. Fabric, thread, and other notions will be provided by the student based on the project being worked on.

 

Examples of  beginning skills taught include:

• parts of a sewing machine

• sewing tools and equipment

• fabric selection

• pattern placement and cutting fabric

• pinning

• using notches

• measuring seam allowances

• casings

• hemming
