Saturday, January 16th
10:00am to 3:00pm
Level 0: You’ve never touched a sewing machine before, or haven’t sewn in a long time.
Learn the very basics of how to thread and operate a sewing machine, then make your first project: a mini bucket bag! The straps can be made short or long depending on your preference.
The Bolt studio is equipped with a sewing machine for each student, but you’re welcome to bring one if you’d prefer to learn on your own machine. Just know that the instructor may not be able to help troubleshoot any machine-related issues that arise.
Taught by Miles Hagin, the Portland-based designer behind Lick Clothing.
