Beyond the Basics of Sewing!

Join us in this class designed to elevate your sewing skills! Students will learn how to read and follow a sewing pattern, including understanding pattern markings, choosing the correct size, laying out pattern pieces, cutting fabric accurately, and assembling a project step by step. Instructor will have patterns available, or students can bring their own simple pattern and fabric. Crossroads has four sewing machines available for use, or students may bring their own.

The instructor may have fabric available for purchase for $5/yard.
