Getting to Know Your Sewing Machine - Boxy Top

Sewing machines can be intimidating, especially when dreaming of creating your own clothing. This class will help you become acquainted with your sewing machine and take the first step towards a me-made wardrobe! We’ll cover everything from threading and cleaning your machine, choosing and preparing patterns, gathering materials, to finally sewing your very own top! We’ll be using a basic boxy top pattern that is size inclusive.

Supplies: Students will be required to provide their own sewing machine in good working order. Communal tools will be available for use (fabric shears, ironing board, etc.). A list of materials students will need to bring for the first class will be provided a week before the start date along with classroom/parking directions and schedule reminder. If you have questions about supplies before then, please reach out to us at lifelonglearning@ivytech.edu.
