Beginner Sewing Series | Timid Beginner

We are so excited to share our love for sewing with you!

This class is made for those who are brand new to sewing.

No experience required! 

 Over the course of five weeks, you will learn how to make the:

Ashton Top (sizes 0-30) from Helen's Closet Patterns

The Ashton Top is an all-season wardrobe staple that is easy to sew and style! Wear it during cooler months with jeans and a cardigan, or pair it with shorts for summer. The Ashton has bust darts and a signature A-line shape. View A is a hip-length top and view B is a crop top, ideal for pairing with high-waisted pants or skirts. Both views have the option to finish the neck and arms with an all-in-one facing or bias binding. The hem is finished using a beautiful hem facing. The Ashton makes a great stash-buster! 

If a men's sewing pattern would better meet your needs, please reach out. We can substitute patterns upon request. 

This is a FIVE WEEK course held on Thursdays May 28th, June 4th & 11th, 18th, 24th from 5:30pm-7:30pm. During our first class we will discuss the patterns, sizing, and prepping for the course.
