Beginner Sewing Classes in Los Angeles – 4-Week Course

$550.00

Learn to sew from the ground up with this 4-week beginner sewing course in Los Angeles. Designed for complete beginners, the course combines step-by-step sewing lessons with practical projects so you can build confidence using a sewing machine and develop skills you can use at home. Across four sessions, you'll progress from sewing fundamentals to completing a tote bag, lined zippered pouch and your own pair of pants.

What You'll Learn in Our Beginner Sewing Classes:

• Threading a sewing machine and working with basic stitches
• Familiarization with sewing tools and equipment
• Sewing 3x projects with simple construction
• Building confidence through hands-on beginner sewing lessons

Beginner Sewing Projects You'll Complete:

• Week 1: Reversible tote bag with a patch pocket
• Week 2: Lined zippered pouch
• Week 3 & 4: Cut and sew a pair of pants in your size with inseam pockets and an elasticated waistband, finishing with hemming to your desired length

Why Learn Sewing Over Four Weeks?

Learning to sew over several sessions gives you time to practice the fundamentals while gradually introducing new techniques. Instead of trying to learn everything in one class, you'll reinforce your machine skills through increasingly challenging projects. By the end of the course, you'll have experience with basic construction, zippers, lining, pockets, garment sewing and hemming.

Each project is designed to help beginner sewists practice machine sewing, simple construction, garment sewing basics and finishing techniques.

Materials Provided:

• PDF instructions for the tote bag and zippered pouch, so you can practice at home.

Skill Level: No previous sewing experience needed
Duration: 4 sessions, 3 hours each
Sewing Machines Provided: All materials and equipment will be supplied

Do I Need Any Sewing Experience?

No previous sewing experience is required. This course is designed specifically for beginners. Sewing machines, equipment and materials are supplied, so you can focus on learning the techniques and gaining confidence at the machine.

This beginner sewing workshop is designed for adults and new sewists who want a practical, supportive way to learn sewing over several weeks.

Begin your sewing journey with this practical, hands-on series, and gain skills you can continue to develop at your own pace.

LOVE!!!

Loved the Intro to Sewing course! I had just about given up on the idea, that I could learn how to sew. Lissa is so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. The class was really fun! It was wonderful to walk away with three pieces that I can say I sewed! Thank you for the lovely experience!

Highlight of 2025

I've discovered that the key to successful adulting is to set yourself up so you always have *something* to look forward to. This intro workshop was That Thing for me in October '25. I'd never touched a sewing machine before and was getting annoyed by how much I was spending to get my pants hemmed (I'm 5'1"). My husband and I enrolled in Caitriona's weeknight sessions, and it was SO MUCH FUN. We finished a reversible tote with a pocket in session one, right off the bat. Session two was a lined (!) ZIPPERED (!!) pouch, which is currently keeping the contents of my oversized bag organized. And then, for sessions 3&4 -- AN ACTUAL PAIR OF PANTS! In my size! With pockets!! Are you kidding me? I could go on and on about how great and satisfying this class was, but in short, 10/10, A++, would enroll again.
