If you have ever been intimidated to learn to sew on a sewing machine, now is your chance to learn with The Joel Fund! In the no-nonsense class, instructor Grace McFetters Caldwell will take you through the basic mechanics of your sewing machine, then teach you how to use it step-by-step. Students will learn the fundamentals of sewing in an easy to digest project that will boost confidence so they are ready to head home and conquer their own sewing projects!

You are welcome to bring your own machine, but sewing machines are available for the class if needed.
