This is a 4-week introductory machine sewing course for Teens (ages 12-18) that will be held in our sewing area at Community on Friday Evenings with a maximum class size of 6 students.

Students will learn to create a custom garment from a pattern. This course will cover how fabric choice, pattern manipulation, and trims/embellishments can change the final design. Students will further develop their construction techniques, create a new garment, and further advance their overall sewing skills.

Supplies are not included in the price of the course. **You are responsible for bringing your own sewing machine and supplies.** You will receive a supply list at least from the instructor at least five days before the course begins.

Your sewing machine needs to have the following functions: Straight stitch and zig zag stitch, ability to adjust stitch length and width, and thread tension.
