There are no prerequisites for this class; no sewing experience is necessary. These classes are for brand new sewers who have no sewing machine experience or for those who have not sewn in a long time.

Material requirements: 

  • .75 meter (or 2 fat quarters) of medium weight quilting cotton or cotton linen canvas fabric (main)
  • A coordinating fabric for top of your stocking (.25 meter)
  • 1 spool of coordinating polyester thread 
  • We'll provide all the trimmings including felt for applique and ribbon for the loop to hang your stocking. 

We offer a 15% student discount on all your supplies for this workshop! You will be sent a code to use online in a reminder email that you will receive before the class starts!

Equipment requirements: We highly encourage you to bring your own sewing machine, however if you don't own a machine, one will be provided for you. If you’d like to bring your home machine, please remember to bring the manual (and foot pedal/power cord) and arrive 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time.

Group size: We like to keep our workshops cozy and fun, so attendance is limited to 6 guests.
