Sewing 101 with Cambridge Wildlife Arts In-Person
This special edition of our Sewing 101 is offered in collaboration with Cambridge Wildlife Arts (Green Cambridge). In this 90-minute workshop, you'll learn the basics of sewing machine operation and safety. This session will cover machine setup, basic functions, threading the machine, reloading the bobbin, sewing straight stitches, and recognizing when stitch tension has gone awry. We’ll also cover some safety best practices when operating a sewing machine. As we learn together, we’ll work on a simple sewing project—hemming blank banners for the Banners Project launched by Cambridge Wildlife Arts.

Following the program, participants and friends are invited to join Cambridge Wildlife Arts for a Banners Project sewing circle on the lawn (6:30–7:30), weather permitting, where you can learn (or practice) hand-sewing skills by working on appliqué for the banners. The wildlife-themed banners will be used in parades, including the Honk! Parade in October. For teens and adults.
