Befriending your sewing machine has never been easier! Whether you haven’t sewn since grade school or have never touched a machine in your life, our Sewing 101 classes will help you get comfortable and confident with sewing on a machine!

These handmade throw pillows are a simple decorative touch that you will be adding to every room in your home.
