Ah, the humble apron. Maybe you think they’re a little ho-hum? The cool thing about an apron is that everything involved in making one is about 90% of the skills used to make anything else. These are the foundational techniques used over and over in every project. We’ll make an adjustable apron with pockets.
The apron series is 2 classes, 3 hours each.
We’ll cover:
A refresher of basic stitches, with stitch samples to take home with you
How to read and prepare a pattern
Fabric cutting and pressing techniques
Creating a casing and strap
Assembly of the apron using clipping, notching and marking skills.
Start with this class if you’re comfortable enough with a sewing machine to know how it works, wind a bobbin, thread the machine, and hand-crank the proper way.
