♻️ Who this workshop is for:

This class is for beginner sewers looking to see if the world of sewing is for you.
We cover a bunch of great upcycling techniques that are suitable for all skill levels. But the technical skill is entry-level so great for beginners.

• No prior sewing skills required.
• Accessible to all skill levels. If you're a gun sewer, we will push you to get even more creative!
• Anyone that hates landfill and loves creating.

*All of our courses are designed to meet you at your current skill level. If you're new to sewing, we will guide you through fundamental processes. If you're more experienced, we can push you for a more complex design and manufacturing process.

💚 Included in the workshop:

You will learn on your own domestic sewing machine for the 2 hour class (you're welcome to bring your own if you prefer).
