$100 for a Six-Week Introductory Sewing Course at LA Sewing Group ($240 Value)

The ability to sew was once an essential survival tool for humanity, instilling the fear of fashion victimhood into wooly mammoths and making unappetizing pots of gruel look downright delicious in fashionable cozies. Earn back your instinctual style cred with today's Groupon: for $100, you get a six-week introduction to sewing class at LA Sewing Group on Huronia Road (a $240 value). Take to the needle under the fierce direction of fashion design pros for a class that teaches the basics of garment grafting and garners each student three completed projects by class’s end (fabric and materials included for the first two projects, fabric and materials for the final project are available at an additional cost). Learn basic sewing machine operation while gaining understanding of patterns, various seam styles, piping, and more for three creative hours at a time in LA Sewing Group’s contemporary facility. Those without their own machines can use one from the school for no additional cost, a much better option than buying one offered from the inside of a grifter’s trench coat. Upcoming class times include 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays (February 23–March 30) or Thursdays (February 17–March 24), with more to be scheduled as needed.
