Intro to Sewing - JoCo Central Resource Library MakerSpace
Whether you have never used a sewing machine or just want to refresh your skills, this workshop can help you develop or brush up on machine sewing basics. During this workshop, I will demonstrate simple sewing techniques and give an introduction to using a modern sewing machine. Our MakerSpace machines are available to use during the workshop, but please bring your own if you have it. The workshop is not project based, but rather guidance based, depending on participants’ needs. We will have fabric scraps for you to experiment with. Please bring questions, projects, and machine issues you’d like help with. This class is free to JoCo library patrons, but registration is required. Registration opens 2 weeks prior to class and can be found on the library website events page.
