In this follow-up class to Sewing Level 1, learn the importance of step-by-step construction while making a simple drawstring bag. Learn why we sew everything inside out & backwards, how to tell the right side & wrong side of fabrics, and how to sew a drawstring casing. Even if you haven't touched a sewing machine since your Sewing Level 1 class, this session is for you! Our goal with our adult sewing series is to help you work up to projects such as bag making, quilting, or garment sewing, that maybe have you a little intimidated right now. Supplies Needed: 1 - 2 woven non-stretch fat quarters (18" x 21" single piece of fabric) and 1 1/3 yards twill tape. 2 contrasting fat quarters will make the project easier. To purchase in store, arrive early and receive a 10% discount! Supplies Provided: Sewing machine, thread, and a sewing toolkit for use in class. Bring a friend - we have a 4 person minimum for a class to take place! This class is open to students age 12+.

What is Sewing Level 2: Drawstring Bag? This is a hands-on, two-hour workshop at Craft Habit in Raleigh designed to help beginners transition from basic machine operation to assembling a real project. To participate, you need to bring one or two woven, non-stretch fat quarters of fabric and about one and a third yards of twill tape. If you need to buy these, arrive at the store early to get a ten percent discount on your materials. The studio provides the sewing machines, thread, and tools. This class is designed for adults, making it a smart option for parents looking to carve out some creative personal time while the kids are at school. Taking a morning to learn a practical skill is a rewarding way to spend your Thursday. You will leave with a finished bag and the foundational skills needed to tackle more complex projects like quilts or clothing down the road.
