Beyond the Bobbin - Pattern Fundamentals


Adult Enrichment / Arts & Creativity -
Adult W-SP 25

If you know how to use a sewing machine but are lost when it comes to reading and following a sewing pattern, this class is for you. Learn how to understand envelope information as well as the ins and outs of pattern piece layout and cutting. From start to finish, Sandra will guide you through a step-by-step process that will demystify pattern directions. Leave class with a good start on a sewing project. Bring a beginner pattern and the following supplies:

  • Week 1: Simple beginner sewing pattern; fabric scissors or rotary cutter and mat. 
  • Week 2-3: Simple beginner sewing pattern; fabric scissors or rotary cutter and mat, fabric and notions (discussed Week 1), sewing machine (manual, if you have it), thread, seam ripper, pins, measure tape or ruler.

Sandra Bengtson is the owner of Avant Garb Fashions. She created her business, in part, because she believes that knowing how to sew is an important life skill that, if nourished, becomes a hobby, craft, and a great way to express creativity. Sandra loves the ability to create and share with others the one-of-a-kind, handmade items that reflect ones personal style. After working almost 30 years in Community Education, she now offers beginner and advanced-beginner sewing classes that provide a warm, inclusive classroom environment with fun, laughter, and perhaps even new friendships.
