There is a Basics II version of this class coming in the spring semester! If you are interested in taking this Basics I class, please contact me for availibility!

In this class I'll introduce you to your* sewing machine! You will learn how to wind a bobbin, thread your sewing machine, change a needle, switch and practice stitches, practice sewing in a straight line and learn how to create a small zippered pouch project by the end of class. This introductory class is great for beginners or those that need a refresher. 

Please note: You'll need your own machine, plus thread, needle and pins for this class.

What you'll get:

  • practice fabric and a variety of project fabrics
  • tips and tricks for using your machine
  • one on one help in creating your project
  • lengthy support for mastering the process
  • patient and at-your-own-pace learning

*Fee DOES NOT include the use of a sewing machine! Please bring your own!*

This class is BYOB, and drinking, (or eating, if you’d like to bring snacks), are always options!

I am dedicated to offering stress free, stress reducing art classes that are fun, no matter what your art experience may be! 

While you go at your own rate in all my classes, this tends to be a slow process class.

*As with all Ruthi Makes classes, no previous experience in art or special talents are necessary!*

Sewing Class

Ruthi was an excellent teacher-patient and kind. This was my first time to sew and she made it extremely understandable and exciting. I will definitely take more classes with her and I recommend her classes for anyone interested in crafting and sewing. Thanks Ruthi...see you soon!

Good for the Brain!

This class was so great because Ruthi patiently taught us step-by-step how to set our machines up and how to sew a line! As she always does, Ruthi showed us what to do and then set us free to try it on our own while she circulated, helping each of us with our individual challenges. The best thing was that we actually made something! I was soooo proud of my little pouch! My brain worked harder in these three hours than it has in a while, and it was SO good for me- like how you feel after a great workout! Thanks, Ruthi! :x
