Machine Basics: Reversible Apron

  • Bolt Fabric Boutique 2904 Northeast Alberta Street Portland, OR, 97211 United States (map)

Saturday, October 10th
2:00pm to 6:00pm
Level 0: This class assumes you’ve never used a sewing machine.

Learn the very basics of sewing, then make your first wearable garment! You’ll leave class with a useful and beautiful apron with pockets.

We have enough sewing machines available in the studio and you don’t need to bring one. If you would prefer to learn on your own machine, feel free to bring it in. Just know that the teacher may not be able to help troubleshoot any machine-related issues that arise.

Taught by Angela Creais.
