About

Do you have the desire to sew and don’t know where to start? Make a simple project to understand BARN’s sewing machine functionality in practice and get certified to use the sewing machines on your own.

We'll walk you through a simple, first-time project and cover the importance of things such a cutting, seam allowances, and light terminology. You'll pin, press, measure, cut, trim, and possibly even rip out a seam or two. Made for the first-time sewist and meant to inspire you to start your own projects!

Details

  • The project may change depending on the day or the instructor.
  • Once you're certified on BARN sewing machines, you can advance your skills, in studio, with your own desired project.
  • Feel free to bring a pattern or fabric to share with the instructor for a quick discussion by the class.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.

Marcia Adams-Landry

Marcia's mother, a 4-H leader, taught her and many of Marcia's friends how to sew. When Marcia sits down to sew, whatever the project might be, she's reminded of all her mother taught her and it gives her great pleasure to pass along some basic sewing skills in BARN's Fiber Arts Studio. In fact, Marcia says fiber is in her DNA and has played many roles and taken many forms in her life over the years.

Danielle Mariani

Danielle has been a quilter for 25 years and is a former board member of the Austin Modern Quilt Guild. She finds joy in vivid colors and loves to sew curved quilt blocks. She hopes to inspire new quilters here at BARN.
