Sewing School is designed to give you increasing levels of sewing know-how. Each class adds new techniques to enhance your skills and give you more confidence. Whether you are a complete beginner, or a skilled quilter who wants to get into garment sewing, the Sewing School classes will help you understand the steps, read and interpret pattern instructions, and give you the tools and confidence to start problem solving on your own. At the end you'll be ready to take on more complex and demanding sewing projects.

Take one or all of the classes. We have each of them on both weekdays or weekends to accommodate your schedule. They're also available for anyone 14 or older so if you have a teen at home who is keen to learn, this is a great opportunity.

Details - Woven Tee - Learn to make Top #1 from 100 Acts of Sewing (pattern included in workshop fee). This is a soon-to-be wardrobe staple that you can wear as a layering piece or on it's own. Choose a fun cotton print, or make it a little sturdier with Artisan cotton (like our sample). You will learn

  • pattern sizing and layout
  • grainline
  • bias binding
  • seam finishes (3 techniques)
  • top stitching
  • hemming

Students must be at least 14 years old.

Difficulty: Beginner

Pre-Requisites: You have taken Sewing School 101 or done some basic sewing and know how a sewing machine works.

Teacher: Shirley Dawson

Supplies Provided:

We will provide the pattern (100 Acts of Sewing, Top No 1).

Need to bring:

You'll get a detailed email a couple of weeks before the workshop letting you know how much fabric to buy and what notions and tools to bring but you can also anticipate that you will need a basic sewing kit (scissors, pins, marking pencil, etc.). We also encourage you to come to the shop ahead of your class to pick out your fabric and thread so that you're ready to go when the class starts.

If you do not have the sewing tools, you can borrow or purchase most of them in the store.

Cancellations and Refunds

We are capping the class at 6 participants. If we have less than 3
participants, we will cancel the class and refund your full purchase
price. Otherwise, workshops are non-refundable. If you cancel with at
least a week's notice, we will give you a store credit. If you find you
can't make it, with less than one week's notice, you are welcome to send
someone in your place.
