Skill Level: Confident Beginner

Class Date: Wednesday, November 4 - 6:30pm-8:30pm

As our gift to you - our amazing, loyal customers - we're offering a selection of fun, freebie classes for the fall season! These classes will help you get in the holiday spirit and create some amazing decor or handmade gifts for your loved ones.

Spruce up your dining table decor with these handmade reversible placemats.  In this beginner friendly class, students will practice sewing straight, even, consistent seams and topstitching.  Finished placemats measure approximately 18" wide by 12" tall. In this demo-style class, you'll learn how to make the placemats, then have the remainder of the class time to work on as many as you can finish.  

This class is suitable for confident beginner sewists who have taken our Sewing 101 class or have an equivalent experience level. Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently. This is NOT a learn-to-sew class.
