You completed Sewing 101—now it’s time to keep practicing, creating, and building your confidence!

Our Sewing 102 Club is the perfect next step for sewists who understand the fundamentals and are ready to learn more. This weekly club combines continued sewing instruction with fun, useful projects in a welcoming and creative community.

Each Tuesday, you’ll complete a new project while learning techniques such as:

Installing zippers
Adding linings and interfacing
Sewing curves and boxed corners
Creating pockets and straps
Working with elastic
Reading and following patterns
Improving cutting, pressing, and topstitching
Beginning garment and bag construction
Creating clean, professional finishes

Projects may include zipper pouches, tote bags, fabric baskets, pillows, aprons, accessories, seasonal décor, beginner garments, and handmade gifts. Every project is carefully selected to help you practice your existing skills while introducing something new.

This is a guided sewing club, not an open studio. An instructor will demonstrate each technique and support you step by step as you complete the featured project.
