Led by sewing phenom Madelaine Bell, this class sees Hot Pizza transformed into a sewing atelier—for adults! We’ll explore the ins-and-outs of apparel design while skill-building along the way with lessons in hand-sewing, machine-sewing, pattern-making and -cutting, and so much more. No sewing experience required! Just a deep curiosity and interest. Students must provide their own fabric for the capstone project. If you have a sewing machine laying dormant and neglected in your basement, bring it! We can show you how to use it. Runs January 14, 21, and 28 and February 4, 11, 18, and 25.
