Serger for Intermediates

All proceeds from EcoEquitable's public sewing classes go toward our mission of empowering women with sewing skills and building connection and community; and supporting our local circular economy by redistributing fabric and sewing tools. We thank you for joining and supporting us!

This class is perfect for individuals who have experience using your serger regularly at home or who have taken our Serger Basics course. In this class students can either work on a serging project they have already started or start a new one! With the help of an expert, tricky projects will be easily completed. 

Reminder: All students who register for this class are required to bring their own serger machine. EcoEquitable serger's are reserved for our Sewing For Jobs program only. Thank you for your understanding!
