Description: This beginners "plus" class will expand on introductory sewing topics while making a slightly more complex project. Students will practice machine operation, sewing seams, corners, a basic zipper installation, all while making a large carryall tote with straps and an inner zipped pocket. It's a perfect gift for the holidays! Whether you took our intro class and want to tackle something more challenging, or if you just want to brush up on your rusty skills, this is the sewing class for you! Each participant will sew their own carryall tote to take home at the end of class. 

Prerequisites: Some domestic sewing machine experience in the past century required. This class builds on a foundation of introductory skills, but we will be skipping basics like bobbin winding and threading practice for the sake of time. Contact us at intro (at) hackpittsburgh (dot) org if you have questions. All materials will be provided.

Cost: $70 for non-members $60 for HackPGH members. Be advised:
