Description

So, you’ve decided you’d like to learn how to sew?  And you’ve a new sewing machine? But don’t know where to start?

Bring along your machine and I will show you how to thread it, practise stitching and make a project just for you. Once armed with the confidence to use your machine, this course will give you the oomph to work on lots of projects. 

As this is an absolute beginner lesson, we will take it slow and begin with sewing simple piece, a Tote Bag.

Firstly, we take around 1.5hours to learn how your machine works, thread it and practice stitching. We then take these new skills to begin making up a project, a super useful Tote Bag. The skills learnt here can include making seams, zig zag edging and top stitching.  

Skill level: Complete beginner - bring your machine in the box!

I really enjoyed this class! Having a small class meant we got the attention we needed, and the class itself ran smoothly and was easy to follow along. All the teachers there on the day were very friendly and really supportive. I learnt a lot from the class and feel way more confident with my machine and more comfortable to tackle some new projects now! Highly recommend this class as a beginner beginner!
