Beginners Sewing School - Adult
With Beginners sewing we are going back to the basics, starting from scratch, and taking you step by step through all the essentials to make learning to sew a fun and inspiring experience.
We will teach you how to thread and operate a sewing machine. We will demystify commercial patterns so you can confidently read the instructions and information provided. This can be overwhelming until you learn how easy it is! Each week you will be introduced to new garment construction techniques. Over the term you will sew a eco shopping bag, makeup bag, table cloth with napkins and a skirt with pockets
What customers will learn:
- All of the necessary sewing terminology & equipment

First of all, it was profitable in the best way: I have been sewing since my 20s but probably rehearsing bad or sloppy habits. Donna provided a gentle entree into professional sewing and finishing; no longer does the garment look home-made which is exactly why I enrolled. I wasn't disappointed. Donna herself is encouraging and disarming profiling a professional approach to everything including relations in the classroom. You know you are in good hands and will come away with a wealth of new skills. I will certainly sign up for more.
