Simple Sewing Series: Pillowcase



The Simple Sewing Series was created to give a variety of sewing experiences to students who have either taken the "Learn to Use a Sewing Machine" class, or have a similar basic set of sewing skills.

In this single session, we will make a pillowcase using the fun "Burrito method" which teaches how to do French seams, while sewing long straight lines to create a pillowcase with a contrasting border section and a flange trim. Fun, fast, useful, and will build your sewing confidence. Makes a great gift.

Class price includes the price of the fabrics needed to create the pillowcase. A selection of pre-cut kits will be available, or ask for help choosing fabrics from our beautiful selection of quality fabrics during our regular open hours before the day of the class. The shop will be closed from 3-3:20 before class.
