Sheridan College – W 202

Saturday 05/20 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Beginner

Workshop Description: Don’t have the room or the budget for an industrial sewing machine? Worry not; hand sewing is the answer and for so many reasons! We have total control of our stitches, we need no space or equipment, we can hand sew on our kitchen table and a hand sewn stitch line can absolutely make a project! In fact, I have several machines in my shop, yet I hand sew most all of my personal projects. In this class, we’ll touch on as many tricks and tips as we can and we’ll try some thread colors and sizes, needle sizes, chisels… Once we get a feel for the basics, we’ll hand sew a small project and get comfortable with hand sewing!

Materials to bring: Note taking materials. Weaver Leather will provide all of the supplies.
