Sewing 101 with Emma for ages 15-17

Service Description

Throughout this class, I will be bringing students through multiple projects, while they practice new skills in between, coming away from the class with a portfolio of new skills and some fun finished projects. It’s also a great place to make friends who share a love for creativity! Here are the following materials required:

- A 3-ring binder -20 plastic page protectors -Pencil+Eraser -Seam ripper -1 spool of Thread (must be new) -Thread snippers -Fabric scissors -Fabric chalk or pen -Pins or Clips -Pin cushion - 6-8” zipper Fabric requirements *Please note, all fabric used in this course must be woven fabric (not stretchy), cotton or linen are preferred, and no silk/satin material.* 0.25m of fabric for bookmark project 1m of fabric for tote bag project 2m approximately of fabric for PJ pants or shorts 0.5m of fabric for zipper bag 14” zipper for zipper bag 0.5m of fusible interfacing About the Instructor: I have been sewing regularly for myself and my family for the past 6 years, and aside from completing a garment construction course at Pacific Design Academy in Victoria, I am entirely self-taught. This is something I consider to be an advantage in teaching you, my dear students, that you too can create the wardrobe you dream of, without being a trained professional. Generations before, average people knew how to make clothing. Only in recent history has this changed and my dream is to change that, so that clothing becomes a way to express yourself, something you cherish! That you would own clothes that fit YOUR body. I can't wait to meet every one of you, and see yourself expressed in handmade clothing! Ages 15-17 (Age range may have a little wiggle room, please email if you have questions about signing students up who don’t fall within this range.) Running on Thursdays, 5-8pm, from October 29th to December 3rd. Cost $250 (weekly payments can be arranged) Questions?  Email: oceansidemakerspace@gmail.com Subject Line "Sewing with Emma"
