Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education

Classes cover sewing basics like the tools you’ll need to get started, threading a needle, sewing by hand, and how to purchase a machine as well as how to choose and use a sewing pattern to put together a wardrobe of basic clothing pieces. We’ll make a drawstring bag in class, and a simple piece of clothing like a skirt, drawstring pants or unisex top. There is a $40 tools and materials fee payable to the instructor on the first night of class (includes fabric for your bag but not for the clothing piece). Additional patterns and materials will be available for an extra fee paid directly to instructor.
