At First Samples the classes are fun and affordable. Brush the dust off of Auntie M's old sewing machine and put it to work. Or maybe it is time to face that new sewing machine of yours and get your moneys worth out of it? If you do not have a sewing machine, you can use one of ours.

The Sewing Boot Camp is great for anyone learning to sew. Then you build from there. Sewing with Patterns classes teach you how to work with a pattern. The Fabrics and Techniques build on the pattern classes to give you some experience with tricky fabrics or techniques. Keep on going and pretty soon you will be making your own patterns.
