Students at Sewing 101: Tote Bag praised the experience for its accommodating teaching style, helpful pace, and tangible results. Many attendees entered with little to no experience with a sewing machine but left with a solid foundational understanding and a hand-made tote bag. Students learned how to thread a machine, cut fabric, measure accurately, and sew a straight line. The class was praised for its intimate setting and individual attention from the instructors. Students felt the class was informative and recommended it to others. Quotes: 1. "I had never touched a sewing machine before and was able to leave the class having a basic understanding of how the machine works, standard vocabulary, and a fab new tote bag!" 2. "I hadn't sewed on a machine in 50 years, and I quickly learned what I had probably been doing wrong all those years ago. The tote bag project was perfect for the time allotted and for the basic skills that were taught, and I'm pretty proud of the finished product." 3. "Lovely class! I learned all the skills to cut fabric, measure and sew a straight line."
