St. Louis Park Community Education

Do you have a sewing machine that is gathering dust because you’re not comfortable using it? We will cover basic maintenance and cleaning techniques, then sew simple tote bags. Confident beginners should also have time to choose and sew an accessory such as a scarf or bag with a zipper. Before class begins, please make sure that you have 2 yards of cotton fabric, at least 2 bobbins, at least 2 sewing machine needles, the power cord and foot pedal for your machine, thread, a seam ripper, and the manual for your machine. If you don’t have a manual, we may be able to find a downloadable version online. If your machine has extra feet or tools, make sure you have them ready. If you don’t have a machine, please contact the instructor before class for advice on how to find one.
