Class Fee: $165
*$10 supply fee payable to instructor for the zippered pouch and tote bag. After that, students will need to bring their own fabric
For beginners, this is your chance to learn how to use your sewing machine and practice sewing simple projects. You will make a simple lined zipper pouch or a lined tote bag or a drawstring bag. It is recommended you take at least two Sewing Machine 101 classes before proceeding to the Beginning Garment Sewing class.
What you will need to bring to class:
Sewing machine that works with bobbins for your machine type
(Janome machine 001Lovely or Janome Mod-15 are good choices on Amazon) Mod-15 can lower the feed dogs, which is not essential unless you are a quilter that likes to do free-motion stitching
Sewing machine needles (preferably universal needles size 10 or 12, I use Schmetz needles)
A spool of thread in either white, light grey, or grey or any color you have (preferably Gutterman or Mettler threads)
Fabric scissors (Fiskars serrated ones are great, not pinking shears)
Seam ripper
Glass head pins, not plastic heads (Dritz extra long glass head pins)
Snacks and/or lunch and drinks for yourself.
Where to get your supplies:

Included in the workshop:
Fabric (and zipper for those making the pouch)
Time permitting, we will make machine needle & pin cushions. Materials are provided.

The option to accept an account credit for the class withdrawal is preferred.
If a withdrawal/refund is requested after 2 weeks prior to or after the class has begun, a $30 administration fee will be deducted and only an account credit will be processed to be used for future class registrations, clay purchases, and future purchases in our gift shop & gallery. If a class has begun at minimum enrollment, we cannot process refunds or credits after the first class has already started. If you register for a class after the session has begun, only an account credit will be processed if a withdrawal is requested. Anyone registered for a figure class with a model will be required to pay the model fee on the first day of class with cash or check to the instructor. Even if you request a withdrawal after the first day of class, you will be required to pay the model fee calculated based on enrollment on the first-class meeting. The Chastain Arts Center is not responsible for classes missed due to student absences. Please discuss any unavoidable absences with your instructor.
