By Community Classes

This in-person machine sewing course is designed for sewers who wish to work on their own projects in a supportive and collaborative environment. Whether you're a beginner tackling one of your first garments, alteration, or redesign, or an experienced sewist working on a pattern, our open sewing sessions provide the space and guidance you need to bring your ideas to life. Bring your fabric, machines, and a sewing project you want to work on, and receive personalized instruction, tips, and troubleshooting assistance. Our instructor will be available to offer advice to help you achieve your sewing goals. Please reach out ahead of the course if you like help selecting a project for you.

This class is not designed for someone who has never used a sewing machine. Please sign up for our Beginners Sewing Course first.

You need to bring your own sewing machine, tools, and supplies. Knowledge of how to use your sewing machine are required.

The instructor, Nissa McKinney, began her sewing journey more than ten years ago at a beginner’s class at Community. That class gave her the foundation she needed to start sewing more advanced projects. Today, a large percentage of her wardrobe is handmade - from jeans and t-shirts to coats and dresses. Sewing has become her superpower! When not sewing, she works as a writer for a kids' science journal, provides shuttle service for her two kids, and squeezes in a dance class or two at Dancefx.
