The first Stitch Kitchen sewing class series was a great success. Ingrid and Nan integrated both class into one, with children ages 6-10, the younger ones with a parent, learning to use the sewing machine for the first time. Above is Josie Green-Lake transferring her manatee drawing to cloth to make a surface design using the machine to make the line drawing.Students when on to made pillows, bags and skirts. By the end of the class they had gained facility with the machine, knew how to thread the top thread and bottom, troubleshoot problems, replace broken needles and oil their machines.
We are looking forward to offering more such classes, as well and advanced garment construction, garment upcycling and industrial machine maintenance and repair.
The Stitch Kitchen is a teacher's coop. For more information about classes and/or the cooperative model we are creating and how you can fit in as a teacher or a volunteer, please contact Ingrid (iggygoo@sbcglobal.net) or Nan (nan@bspoketailor.com).
