Sew it, wear it, love it.

Slip into summer (literally) by stitching up your very own easy-breezy shirt! This is the perfect next step if you’ve dabbled with a sewing machine and want to level up without getting overwhelmed.

We’ll use a super simple pattern, lightweight cotton fabric (yes, you get to choose your color!), and learn a few techniques that’ll boost your sewing confidence big time.

If you’ve taken our Basic Sewing class—or even just know your way around a straight stitch—you’re in! Come for the skills, stay for the good vibes and the "I made this!" moment.

Just bring yourself—everything else (supplies + sewing machines) is provided.

Please note: Space is limited.
