February 28th | 10am - 4pm

Instructor: Shametra Rozzel 

Whether your sewing machine is fresh out of the box, has been tucked away in the closet for years, or was lovingly passed down from family or a friend, this class will help you build confidence and comfort behind the machine that might feel a bit daunting to plug in and learn on your own.

We’ll move step-by-step through everything you need to start sewing with ease: understanding machine functions, threading your machine, winding a bobbin, adjusting tension, exploring stitches, and practicing basic sewing techniques.

By the end of class, you’ll know how to troubleshoot common issues, sew clean, simple seams, and feel ready to take on beginner projects with independence and creativity!
