418) Monday Beginner Sewing Workshop (In-Person)
 

Do you have a sewing machine lurking in your closet that you never used? Have you always wanted to learn how to sew and style your own bags, clothing and accessories? If so, then this is the class for you! You will get to know the ins and outs of a sewing machine while also learning to make basic garments such as pajama pants and bags. We begin with simple pillows, zipper bags, tote bags (and other projects) and progress to a pattern of your choice. The possibilities are endless! Let your imagination and creativity be your guide after you finally become close friends with your sewing machine. Both your closet and your wallet will thank you!

Students are responsible for their own materials and it is suggested that they bring their own sewing machine. Sewing machines are provided in the class as well. A basic list of supplies will be emailed before the first class. Don't forget a notebook! Suzanne will be available to answer additional questions on materials at the first class.

Instructor

Suzanne Rogalsky Art has been a lifetime journey for me. I began “crafting” as a child. I made whatever I could from anything I could find. My art path turned toward textiles when I was a young adult as I discovered that sewing my own clothes could be an excellent means of self-expression. I made my first quilt in my mid-twenties and that resulted in having three quilts in juried shows in Lancaster, PA., which was the heart of quilting at the time. Learning mixed media art was the next logical step as it combines fiber and paper arts together with lots of thread, gesso, paint and collage! I make quilts and other fabric items such as purses and ties from wedding dresses, and use thread and a sewing machine to “draw” on other people’s creations under my business name Sunny Stitches. I have been teaching my love of sewing, quilting, mixed media and journal making to others for over 20 years. I truly believe that everyone is creative and I hope to bring the freedom of expression and the gift of uniqueness out of every student.
