RFA Adult Sewing classes not only teach you a valuable skill, they foster creativity and self-expression. The small class size allows for an interactive social environment, enhancing community connections and support. Students not only learn from our talented teacher but share ideas and experiences with each other.  

This is a progressive project class that allows students to match their projects with their developing skills based on teacher/student evaluation. Beginning students will start with a patchwork zipper bag. 

No experience is required. Instruction, basic materials, and machines are included. Some fabrics are also included depending on projects. 

Skills Learned: 

• How to operate a sewing machine, identify its parts, and understand sewing terms
• How to choose the proper sewing tools and how to use them
• How to identify different fabrics for different projects
• How to sew different stitches and seams, and when to use them
• How to follow sewing instructions to create projects and cut out a simple patterns

Discover our commitment to sustainable creation!

We have a curated selection of donated fabrics, perfect for students eager to explore their creativity. While our designs and fabric types are limited, we prioritize eco-friendly sourcing by utilizing donated materials, dead stock, and project scraps. (We gladly accept donations to cover the cost of preparing these fabrics for class use.) Students wishing to bring their own fabrics are welcome to do so. Machines, threads, tools provided. 

For any student directed special project, we will provide a supply list for anything not on hand.

Classes take place in our classroom; 1616 Market Street, Redding
