Picture this: you want to get crafty with sewing but don’t have the money or workspace to completely dive in, and going to the big box fabric store is not something you (or your wallet) enjoys. Now picture yourself wearing something fabulous that YOU made, or giving your loved ones a hand sewn ornament, and feeling so great because you hardly spent anything!

That was me! I had no extra money for non essentials but my hands were ready to create. I’ve discovered that my cheap sewing methods actually unlock my creativity because of all of the inspiration I find along the way.

In this class I”m going to show you how to find inspiration in second-hand patterns, fabrics, sewing notions; show you ways to build up your sewing studio with the necessary tools, and discuss the motivation you need to complete your sewing project, all without breaking the bank.

In this class you will:

Discover multiple ways to shop or acquire sewing materials inexpensively (or even free!)
Garner ideas and spark creativity via vintage and second hand sewing materials
Learn how to make fun and cherished fabrics last longer over many projects by mixing and matching
Setup a sewing space in the least convenient areas, and outfit your tool collection without spending too much!
Learn how to extend the usefulness of tools
Plan a low-cost and exciting sewing project
