If you haven’t used double-fold bias tape, you’re in for a treat because this stuff makes everything look slick. And we’ve sourced some super high-quality 100% cotton tape made in Montréal. You’re gonna want to make them in every colour!!

It’s unisex, all bodies + sizes welcome.

LEARN TO SERGE - Starts September 12th

What is a serger? Chances are, the garment you’re wearing now was made using a serger. If you look inside, you’ll see loopy threads— because it’s made with a SERGER not a sewing machine!

If you want to work with stretch fabrics, this is the class for you! You’ll learn how to thread the serger, troubleshoot weird problems, and make a cute boxy sweatshirt in 100% cotton french terry, all while conquering your fear and making the serger your best friend.

As always, ALL materials are included.

Class starts on September 12 - visit our website to register!
