Sewing Class: Cutting

by dpeachNo Comments

This sewing class builds on the basics we learned in the previous class. This time we will continue to practice our sewing skills but add information about cutting material down to the sizes you need for your project.

Skills You Will Learn

  • Cutting fabric
  • Machine setup
  • Cutting tool options and use

Who Should Attend

This is still a basic sewing class; therefore, it is appropriate for anyone who feels like they need a bit more instruction before being turned loose on a machine by themselves. Or, you may be curious about how to sew but have never even tried it. This class is for you.

You do not have to have attended the previous class to attend this one.

What to Bring

Bring a sewing machine if you have one available to you. We will try to have an extra machine or two, but our preference would be that you practice on the machine you will actually be using at home. If your machine does not work, or does not work well, bring it along and we will try to help you get it up and running.

If your machine does not run, send us an email or a message through our contact form and we will see if we can get together for a short time before class to get everything working properly before class begins.

Cost: $25

February 9 Meet & Greet Results

by dpeachNo Comments

We had a good turnout for the second Meet & Greet event at Morristown Makers. Several people stopped by to find out what we are doing at the space. It was exciting to have most everyone stay more than an hour (and some more than 2!).

During the day we worked on a few different projects in between eating popcorn and chatting with visitors. Two people put together a demo piece for the pallet wood blanket ladder class. A couple worked on a rustic barn wood fireplace mantle.

Enjoy a playful timelapse video of the day.

The next events we have scheduled are classes for the next two weekends. On February 15 and 16 there will be a class on basic 3D modeling using Tinkercad. The following weekend (February 22 and 23) we will be teaching how to build a blanket ladder using reclaimed pallet wood.

For both of these classes you only need to attend either the Friday night session or the Saturday morning session. The same thing will be taught on Saturday as was taught the night before. Pick one of the two class sessions and join us for an upcoming class at 50% off for this month.

Please register to reserve your spot in the class.
