There are so many functional things you can sew! Spend a weekend helping us with a few projects around North House. From canvas roofs for the new timber frame tents, to seat cushions and curtains to spruce up classrooms, you’ll get to make a mark on campus. Learn a few essential skills: from patterning and pinning to threading and operating various domestic sewing machines. In addition, try your hand setting a variety of grommets in a range of fabric types and weights. You’ll leave with a new appreciation for a range of home sewing applications and likely a few ideas for your own hive. This class will cater to both beginner and intermediate sewers and is a great way to reacquaint yourself with your sewing machine. Lunch will be provided both days.

You will need the following tools for this class:

Students are encouraged to bring their own domestic sewing machine. There are a limited number of sewing machines available, so please let us know if you would like to borrow one for the course by calling 218.387.9762.

Feel free to bring your favorite tools and whatever materials you might feel appropriate for this course.
