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.
