Learn essential sewing techniques, including how to operate and thread a sewing machine, and practice foundational stitches. You’ll apply these new skills by creating a simple patchwork denim tote bag! Cut your patchwork pieces from recycled jeans, follow a pattern, and construct your own bag - a fun introduction to sewing while making something practical for everyday use.
No prior experience necessary - just bring your enthusiasm!
