Beginner Adult Sewing Instruction

Adult Enrichment / Hobbies -
2025 Fall Adult Catalog

Start from the beginning and learn to use a sewing machine, thread the bobbin and machine, and learn about needles and fabric. We'll use a pattern to make a pair of pajama pants. Learn to cut out the pattern and fabric, sew and finish seams, insert elastic, and put up a hem.

Note from instructor: Purchase a basic pajama pants pattern in your size (Butterick or Simplicity) and the fabric and elastic according to the pattern. Bring these to class along with your sewing machine, thread, scissors, and pins.
