The skilled stitchers at Quality Sewing & Vacuum guide beginning bobbin-jugglers through a hands-on introduction to the thread-based arts in a Fun & Easy: Introduction to Sewing class. Needle-wielding neophytes craft a handy tote bag during the three-hour lesson—which includes sewing machines, fabric kits, and tools—learning basic techniques such as sewing seams, executing even top stitches, creating casings, and adding soup-smuggling pockets to the bag’s lining. Then, to personalize their new pouch, designers can customize its appearance with machine embroidery. After the class is over and participants have added 180 minutes’ worth of sewing know-how to their brains, they’re welcome to browse the shop and make additional purchases at 10% off the regular price.
