Please note: Our Basic Sewing for Beginners class is limited to 5 participants per session to ensure each student has access to a sewing machine and receives personalized instruction. Due to high demand, we’re thrilled to offer this class monthly, giving everyone a chance to join. Each session covers the same foundational skills, so we kindly ask that you sign up only once to allow space for new learners.
