Step into the world of sewing with our comprehensive class designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to understand the basics of sewing. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your abilities, this class offers a perfect blend of technique and hands-on practice.

Throughout the course, you'll delve into the fundamentals of both hand sewing and machine sewing techniques. As you progress through the course, you'll have the opportunity to work on your very own pillow project, applying the skills and techniques you've learned.
