Youth Intro to Sewing Machine offers an introduction to operating the sewing machine, focusing on safe and effective use of the machine including winding the bobbin, threading the machine and executing straight and zig-zag stitches to sew seams on cloth. Over the course of two weeks, students will become familiar with essential sewing machine parts and practice safe use of the machine. This course will be conducted by Artist and sewing instructor and founder of REACH, Alice Brinkman.

If you have a working sewing machine at home, you are encouraged to bring it to use at class. If not, we have sewing machines for you to use.

Participants in Sew Fun course may attend a free, twice-a-month Open Sewing Lab drop-in where participants can bring in their own sewing projects to work on, get help with troubleshooting, and sewing ideas from sewing experts!

Full and Partial Scholarship options are available for REACH youth classes.

Scholarship amounts will be reflected at checkout if you complete the scholarship section of the registration form and if the remaining scholarships are still available.
