Gunn Memorial Library Sewing 101: Make an Apron | Part 1

Sewing school is back in session at the Makerspace! Sign up today and learn the basics of machine sewing as you make your own apron in this two part workshop series. Whether you’ve never sewn before or it’s been a while since you last used a sewing machine, this workshop will give you the skills you’ll need to take on future sewing projects with confidence. 

In Week 1, you’ll discover how to work with paper patterns and prepare your fabric for sewing. We’ll cover how to select a size, alter the length of the pattern, and cut and mark your fabric accurately. You’ll also practice threading the sewing machine as you embroider a simple design on your apron pocket.

Week 2 will focus on assembling the apron. You’ll learn how to sew with an accurate seam allowance, topstitch a pocket and hem, and finish raw edges with a zig zag stitch.

All supplies, including fabric and sewing machines, will be provided. If you’d like to bring your own fabric, please reach out to the Makerspace Specialist at create@gunnlibrary.org for more information. 

Please note that this is a two part workshop. Participants must attend both sessions.

Ages 18+. Registration Required.
