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.
