Sewing Basic Projects: Custom Crafter's Apron! • Ages 16+

This workshop is part of our Sewing Basic Projects series! If you’ve never touched a sewing machine, check out Start Sewing with SCRAP: Intro to Home Sewing Machines — click here!

Prerequisite: Start Sewing with SCRAP, or equivalent knowledge. How to thread a home sewing machine, wind and load a bobbin, and select basic straight and zig-zag stitches.

Sewing Basic Projects: The Apron!

Build on your ability to operate a home sewing machine, learn new skills, and apply them to a new beginner level project, a custom crafters apron! This apron is waist height (no front bib) and has 3 roomy pockets, a drawstring style belt with a sturdy cotton tie, a hanging loop, and a tool loop!

We'll cover:

• Translating pattern measurements to fabric
• Identifying the “right” vs “wrong” side, and grain direction of fabric
• Cutting fabric accurately
• A variety of seam treatments and construction methods (Including hemming edges!)
• The POWER of PRESSING!
• How to add custom sized and placed loops and pockets for your tools.

And combine all of that into a complete project: your custom apron!
Lead by sewing nerd Kate, with SCRAP’s variety of studio sewing machine models. This workshop is a great opportunity to use several styles of different sewing machines before you invest in your own!

For $45, you'll get 3 hours of hands-on instruction!

All tools and materials provided | Ages 16+ (parents must purchase for their children)
Students are welcome to bring their own sewing machines.
