Fall 2026 Long Line Sewing for Beginners

1st Saturdays • Gore Hall • 11:00 AM?1:30 PM

Optional text: “My First Quilt Book: Machine Sewing” by Winky Cherry

Required: Sewing Machine, Sewing Kit, thread and fabric

This introductory class is designed for students who have never sewn before, as well as beginners who want to strengthen their “long-line” stitching skills before moving on to making garments. Students will build confidence by making stitch samplers, a pillowcase, and a lap quilt using patterns from Winky Cherry?s book.

This class emphasizes foundational sewing skills, accuracy, and comfort with straight and long-line stitching in a relaxed, supportive environment.

You can keep your projects or donate them to children?s hospital charities!
