How to choose a Sewing Class or Session
Here at Upcycle, we want to be able to provide a space for all of our sewing community. There is a need for this, and we want to support your creative upcycling and sewing. Each of these classes and sessions are different and will depend on your sewing needs and experience, so which Sewing Class or Session is best for me? Here's a snapshot, to help you choose.
BEGINNER SEWING
Bobbins, threading, pedals and dials. If you haven’t sewn before or need a refresher as it’s been awhile, this is where to start. We will cover everything you need to know to get you started on your creative sewing journey.
PROJECT CLASSES
If you have some sewing experience, spend some dedicated time on personal projects with our support and guidance. Choose between casual Saturday sessions or each week over a couple of months.
USE OUR MACHINES
Space, time and equipment for those able to work independently. If you know how to thread a machine, wind a bobbin, or can thread an overlocker with your eyes shut, this one is for you. Shared use of our equipment and space for $10/hour on Mondays 1 - 4pm or Thursdays 1 - 5pm. MEMBERS ONLY (No pre-bookings needed).
SLOW STITCH SATURDAYS
While many of our workshops are sewing machine based, this one is all about the hand stitching. These are unstructured sharing sessions, where we will use hand stitching, darning, and visible mending techniques. No experience necessary.
