| Learn the basics of garment sewing including understanding commercial patterns, fabric selection and construction of children's pajama pants and give back to the community at the same time! You'll be sewing pajama pants for charitable children's organizations such as SafePlace transitional housing and Helping Hand Home for foster children. All patterns and materials will be supplied so you can concentrate on learning garment sewing techniques.
Each of the two classes in this series can be taken independently. If you only want to learn more about reading and understanding commercial patterns, just take the first class. If you want to get practice with construction take the second class as well. The price of this series has been reduced in order to encourage more people to learn these valuable skills and to participate in volunteer activities at the same time.
Some sewing experience is required for this class. Students must be able to thread their machine, fill and change the bobbin and sew a simple seam. Don't know how to use a machine? Click here to check out the Beginner Sewing 101 class.
If you have your own portable machine, please bring it with you with an empty bobbin. Otherwise, there are machines available to use for a fee.
Each class in this series is 2 1/2 hours.
Fees:
Group class (2-6 people) $20 per class
Machine rental $5 per class

Cancellation and Refund Policy:
Refunds for missed classes are in the form of class credit for a future class only. You must notify me by email at least one week in advance to receive a class credit. This allows me time to sign up another student in your place in the missed class.
