Sewing Basics: Paws & Stitches
November 5 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm Central
This three-week class meets on Thursdays, November 5, 12, and 19.
Your favorite four-legged friend deserves something handmade too! In this beginner-friendly sewing class, you’ll learn the basics of sewing while creating three fun pet accessories of your own.
You’ll start with Sewing 101 as you cut and stitch a reversible bandana, then put your new skills to work making a scrappy collar and finish with a pet jacket. Along the way, you’ll build practical sewing skills while creating something especially for your furry sidekick.
No sewing experience necessary. Come ready to learn, create and give your pet some serious handmade style!
