Session 1/2: Wednesday, September 24th, 2025 - 6-9pm
Session 2/2: Wednesday, October 1st, 2025 - 6-9pm
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 class.
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.
I will provide: the apron pattern, a machine + workspace with all the tools needed.
Please bring with you:
1 ¼ yard of cotton fabric, or 1 yard in one color and ¼ yard in a contrasting color for the pockets and strap. (For a lightweight apron use quilting cotton, for a sturdier apron use a denim or canvas - no knits or synthetics).
All purpose polyester thread in a coordinating color.
Use a machine here or bring your own. (If you’re bringing your own, please let me know in advance. The machine must be serviced and have a manual you can bring to class.)
