The Mood U 6-Week Beginner Sewing Course consists of six (6) consecutive weekly in-store classes designed to teach you basic home-sewing machine operating skills, pattern layout, fabric cutting, sewing construction, and finishing techniques.

Your first sewing project is our popular Mood U Tote Bag. Each week we focus on a different stage of your project, and by the end of the 6-week session, you will have completed your own customized Mood U Tote Bag from start to finish. From this single project, you will have built a solid foundation of sewing skills and techniques to prepare you for our intermediate sewing class where you will learn the basics of garment construction.

Please note: To attend this Mood U 6-Week Course - Beginner Sewing for Adults you will need to purchase the complete Mood U Sewing Kit; a well-rounded selection of quality sewing tools to get you started on your creative journey. You can purchase this kit in-store anytime during regular store hours up to the first day of your scheduled class for approx.$140.00.

All of the items in the Mood U Sewing Kit can be used for our Intermediate and Advanced sewing classes, as well as many of our workshops.

How do I know what level I should start at?

Beginner level classes are for students who have no previous experience, or have a little experience but have not created any projects in a while and wish to refresh their beginner knowledge.

Intermediate level classes are for students who have had some experience with simple projects and wish to take their skills to the next level.

Advanced level classes are for students who have had a reasonable amount of experience and wish to learn a higher level of skill.

All of our classes at every level are very social and a lot of students continue to return to keep learning but also to enjoy the social aspect.

Can I switch classes?

We ask you to choose a class time that works best with your weekly schedule. Switching classes is not always possible, however we will always try to accommodate requests when asked.
