Introduction to Sewing with Christy

  • Create Art and Tea 1015 Main Avenue Durango, CO, 81301 United States (map)

Learn how to sew & make this adorable little tote. You won’t want to miss this class to learn such a valuable skill.

In this $35 introduction to sewing class, instructor Christy Hicks, owner of Just Ask Christy –Artisanal Goods & Services will teach 2 people in this 2 hour class. This is your chance to learn how to thread a sewing machine, wind a bobbin, sew basic straight stitches, make a gusset & hand stitch on a button or two.

This is a simple starter project & will be very useful in your home, office, camper or even as a housewarming gift bag filled with goodies. The three tote materials shown (fabric, button & rope) are provided. You may choose your preference of fabric & buttons right before class begins, so be sure to show up 10 min early so you can pick from the selection available before class starts. The items provided will make this bag which is 8” wide x 5” D x 6” high. However, if you don’t want it folded down inside for sturdier sides, you can end up with a bag that is approx. 12” high for magazines, yarn, snacks or hand towels. Bring a friend and one of you can enjoy some tea while we make a tote to take home.

The contents shown inside the bag are for example and/or size reference only.  One free gift tag is offered if needed. Tell your friends & family so they don’t miss out.
