About this event
Guests: minimum 1, maximum of 3 participants per date & time slot.
If all 3 spots are not filled, workshops can continue with 1 or 2 people. Dedicated time is 1hr/person, so workshops would be 1hr for 1 person, 2hrs for 2 people, and 3hrs for 3 people, respectively.
In other words, you don't have to risk workshops being cancelled due to low registration, and you could be getting a private workshop at no additional cost! You will be notified of the total number of participants and the length of your workshop prior to the start of your workshop date & time.
Please arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of each workshop to settle in, meet and greet others, and familiarize yourself with the space.
Welcome to the world of Sewing with Industrial Machines! It may seem a bit intimidating at first, but you are guaranteed to feel more confident after this workshop. Whether you have some or no experience sewing, this workshop is meant to be fun and explorative while introducing you to the tools, techniques, and materials used by the Cassandra Moy brand.
Join us at CM HQ in the workroom and learn how to use the 4 industrial sewing machines that are used to create the clothing and bags at Cassandra Moy:
JUKI STRAIGHT STITCH, JUKI 4 THREAD SERGER, SIRUBA 5 THREAD CYLINDER ARM COVERSTITCH, NAKAJIMA CYLINDER ARM WALKING FOOT.
Get a feel for each machine, what they're used for, and experiment with different kinds of materials. You can take this workshop as many times as you like to finesse your techniques.
You have the option to create a small item of your choosing (can be from the list below or not), but there is no emphasis on necessarily creating a finished product in this time.
POSSIBLE ITEMS TO CREATE:
Small pouch with drawstring
Bandana/pocket square
Sleeve accessory
All supplies included.
Liability Waiver will be sent to you after purchase. Please sign and return before the start of your workshop.
