Class/Workshop Etiquette: All scheduled classes start and end on time. Please be prompt in your arrival and departure, as we often have other classes starting after yours that we must prepare for. Arriving 30 minutes late to a class is a no-show, and no makeup class will be offered. Teachers are subject to change.
Project No. 1
Start your sewing journey with our reversible tote bag project! In this beginner-friendly class, students will select their own fabrics, learn how to transfer a pattern, pin and cut fabric with precision, and practice straight seams on our sewing machines. Most students can finish Project No. 1 in just two classes.
Project No. 2
Who doesn't need a zipper bag? Sewing in a zipper might seem like an advanced skill, but at Common Thread, we break it down step by step, making projects easy to follow and fun to create.
Project No. 3
Our final project in the beginner series is all about creating clothing. You can choose to make a simple pair of pants, shorts, or a top. Learning to measure yourself is a crucial step in this project, and we’ll guide you in selecting the right size and fabric. As you work on this project, you’ll practice essential skills like sewing curves, working with different seam allowances, and fitting your finished garment.
Once you've completed the beginner projects,
you can pick your next one!
Our pattern library is full of options, from tops and tunics to pants and pillows—there's something for everyone.
