Dive right in! Learn to use a sewing machine and choose either the Simple Shirt or Simple Pants class. Or heck, why not take both?

Learn the basics of making clothing from sewing patterns in this fun three-part workshop. We know that learning to sew clothing can be intimidating, and deciphering a sewing pattern for the first time on your own can feel overwhelming. What is actually a good beginner pattern?

We have a specially curated variety of great beginner clothing patterns for you to choose from, as well as quality pre-washed fabrics. Everything you need is included in the price!
