8 Week Summer Sewing Courses for Adults and Teens at Sew Peoria
This summer I’ll be offering two 8 week adult beginner sewing classes and teen beginner sewing classes.
Class Description:
8 Week Beginner Sewing [Adult (18 and up) Teen (14-18) $400.00 – This is a two-hour class held one day a week for 8 weeks. This class is perfect for the person who wants to learn the basics of operating a sewing machine, with the added skill of sewing a simple garment. This 8-week beginner sewing class introduces students to the fundamentals of sewing and garment construction. Students will learn: – How to safely and confidently operate a sewing machine, understand fabric types and grain, and prepare fabric for sewing. – How to read and follow commercial sewing patterns – How to safely cut fabric – How to take accurate body measurements to choose the correct pattern size for their measurements and sew a simple garment – How to create strong, professional seam finishes without a serger. Throughout the course, students will complete 2-3 non-gender-specific projects that reinforce these skills and build confidence. By the end of the class, students will have a solid foundation in sewing techniques and feel prepared to continue making garments and sewn projects independently. If a student does not bring their own sewing machine, a $5 machine rental fee applies per class. Please use the Add-on feature to secure your sewing machine rental when booking your class. Students are responsible for providing consumable supplies, including fabric, thread, and other notions.
