Hemming Workshop with Radical Sewists!
Saturday, May 9th Noon - 4PM
PLACE LB 2172 Pacific Avenue,
Long Beach, CA 90806
$15 Sign up Here at https://linktr.ee/lbcma or link in bio.

Tired of pants that drag or bunch at the ankle? Join us for a hands-on workshop focused on the basics of hemming your garments. In this 4-hour session, participants will learn how to properly measure, pin, and sew hems using provided sewing machines. Along the way, we’ll also cover simple tailoring tips and how to choose the right pant length for a polished look.

Bring a pair of pants that need hemming, and we’ll guide you step-by-step through the process. Please try to bring a woven fabric and not a stretchy knit fabric. This workshop is designed for beginners with at least a little sewing machine experience. Students will work in pairs, with a maximum of 8 participants to ensure plenty of guidance and support.

Leave with a pair of pants that fit just right and the skills to do it again!
Skill level: Beginner (some sewing machine experience NEEDED)

Free Quilting Workshop!
Saturday, April 25th Noon - 3PM
PLACE LB 2172 Pacific Avenue,
Long Beach, CA 90806
Free! Donations Accepted! Sign up link in bio

Learn the basics of quilting by making a tiny, coaster-sized quilt, also known as a “mug rug.” These tiny quilts have the same components as a full-size quilt, just on a smaller scale, so they’re an approachable first project for anyone curious about quilting. Our quilts will be 5”x5”.

You’ll learn how to assemble a “quilt sandwich” and stitch through a quilt to keep it all together. For this project, we’ll use a method that doesn’t require you to bind the edges of the quilt with bias tape, making it a little faster and easier than traditional quilts. We’ll be sewing with a machine and by hand in this workshop.
