Let's really get sewing! No matter what stage your child is at, this fun workshop will kickstart their creativity.
Sewing machines are provided but it you'd like to you can bring along your machine. We will show your child how to thread it, practise stitches and make quick projects!
Once armed with the confidence to use the machine, this workshop will give your child the oomph to work on lots of projects.
