Never touched a sewing machine or in need of a serious refresher? Fear not! This class will ease you into the basics of using a machine and working with fabric. We’ve carefully selected three projects--a pillowcase, apron, and skirt--that will build on each other, one skill at a time. You’ll blow your own mind when you progress from stitching together simple shapes to creating your first custom-fit garment in no time!

This is our only true beginner class that includes detailed sewing machine instruction. If you're already comfortable with the basic functions of a machine, check out our class listings for other offerings at the “Easy” level and up.

Your class fee includes fabric and notions for the first of the three projects (pillowcase). Once you’re more comfortable working with fabric, you’re invited to use your 10% class supply discount to choose fabric that you love for the apron and skirt projects. All the info you need to pick the perfect fabric will be provided in the class.

Limited to 6 participants. Requires 3 participants to run. In the event of cancellation due to low enrollment, registered participants will receive notice and a refund 3 days prior to the scheduled start date of the series.

Please note our sewing studio space is on the second floor with no elevator access. We sincerely apologize for any difficulty this creates. Don't hesitate to contact us with questions at hello@notionvt.com.
