Make Your First Garment - Pajama Series [June 8 & 15th]

A skilled tailor carefully cuts fabric with a zigzag pattern at a sewing station, preparing it for assembly with a sewing machine.

🎨 PAJAMA SEWING SERIES: MAKE YOUR FIRST GARMENT!

Ready to sew your very first garment from start to finish? This Pajama Sewing Series is designed for adults (17+) who want to learn how to use a commercial sewing pattern and build wearable, comfortable pajamas using a sewing machine.

Over two class sessions, you’ll be guided step‑by‑step through the garment‑making process - from cutting fabric to sewing elastic, finishing seams, and adding buttons. By the end of the series, you’ll leave with a completed pajama set and the confidence to take on future apparel projects.

This class is beginner‑friendly, though basic familiarity with a sewing machine is helpful. You may bring your own machine or use one of ours.
