Description

BEGINNER & BEYOND 5 WEEK SEWING COURSE

Let's really get sewing! This 4 or 5 week Learn to Sew course is for those who want to get sewing fast and consistently!

USE CODE FULLTERM TO GET $30 OFF WHEN BOOKING THE WHOLE TERM.  OFFER ENDS 25 April 2023

** Please note that this class also runs at the same time as the all level class so there will be sewists at different stages in your class.  You will still get super personalised attention!

BEGINNERS:

Each week we will build on the skills learnt from the precious week.  The first two weeks will focussed on learning how to thread your machine, sew some basic stitches and sew a curved line plus hem, ending with making a tote bag in week one and two.  We'll then move onto PJ shorts.

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

BEYOND BEGINNER:

Whether you have sewn a little bit or a lot, this is a time for you to focus on that learning, a tricky technique, pattern or skill.  It's also a chance to get that project you have been wanting to tackle for ages, started and hopefully finished! 

In this course, you will bring your own project/s to work on with the guidance of a sewing teacher.  We find that if you work on a project that interests you, or suits you best, you learn more and have more fun!

Skill level: Has sewn before & can thread your machine.
