Sew Smooth: Beginners Sewing Machine Course

Sign up for our seven-week beginners’ sewing course for adults and learn how to sew with sewing machines.

Over seven classes, you will learn the basics of threading up a machine, sewing seams, using different stitches, and sewing simple projects. No experience is needed, and all materials are provided. From each class, you’ll go home with a different completed project, such as drawstring bags, zipper pouches and more.

If you have some experience using sewing machines, you may be interested in our Intermediate Sewing Machine Workshop instead.

Sign up from 14 October or follow all four steps of our one-time setup instructions to register now!
Use one of the links below to indicate whether you can bring your own sewing machine or if you need to use one belonging to the library.
