Learn to Sew a Needle Book

Sewing | This program is completed

In this learn to sew course for beginning beginners, we will make "needlebooks". These functional and decorative little items were common from the 1800s through the mid-20th century. They were handy and convenient, and often made from scrap fabrics. They were meant to hold a person's needles and pins, which were important tools, and they are still handy today. In this class we will discuss woven and non-woven fabrics, learn to sew on buttons by hand, and also learn to use the sewing machine to sew straight lines and turn neat corners. Students will complete a needlebook in one session. 

 

  • Pins, Thread, and Needles will be provided.

     

     
  • Please bring the following materials: scraps of fabric (6" x 8" or larger) or an old dress shirt, fabric shears or a rotary cutter, if possible.
