Have you always wanted to try your hand at sewing but had no idea where to start?
Does your sewing machine need a little love and attention?
Our Beginner’s Sewing Course is the perfect place to begin your creative journey. Whether you’ve never touched a sewing machine before or you’re a returning sewer in need of a refresher, this friendly and sociable class will help you build confidence and learn the essential skills you’ll use time and again.
What You’ll Learn
We start right at the beginning:
~ How to thread up your machine with ease
~ The key functions and features of a sewing machine
~ Simple but useful techniques to get you sewing confidently
~ Buttonholes
~ Fabric understanding and measurements
~ Inserting a zip and pocket
~ Different seams and hems
~ Machine maintenance
~ Which presser feet and needle to use
From there, we dive straight into making! Over the weeks, you’ll complete a series of beginner-friendly projects designed to teach a wide variety of transferable skills. We will finish by creating a bespoke apron you will be very proud of. These carefully chosen projects will give you a strong foundation to continue sewing long after the course finishes.
By the end, you’ll be amazed at how much you can do with your sewing machine.
