Our Beginners Sewing 1 - Introduction To Using a Sewing Machine class has been developed to address the needs of those who have little or no experience of using a sewing machine. Through this class participants will learn not only basic sewing machine skills, but will develop the confidence to progress onto making things for themselves using a sewing machine.

In the afternoon, put your new found skills into practise to create a practical item - project choices are an 'envelope style' cushion or lined tote style bag

On completion of this class participants will confidently be able to:

- thread a sewing machine and wind a bobbin.

- feed fabric through, sew in a straight line and turn corners.

- explore the range of features and stitches on the machine.

- trouble shoot about common errors and being aware of them!

- sew different types of seams.

- Understand how to hem the edge of the cloth.

- apply a pocket and patches.

We also offer a follow on class 'Beginners Sewing 2' - zips, buttonholes & bindings & make your own sewing roll, followed by an afternoon class 'make your own simple & stylish skirt or shorts' A discount is offered when you block book 1 & 2 together! Next date: Saturday 6th March.

Class Size: Now reduced to 4 participants to ensure social distancing.

Class Includes: Our own  'Learn to Sew' textile handout (T-Towel) , other materials, use of 'Brother' sewing machines.

Please Note: The workshop will take place in the Fabrications studio (which is downstairs from the shop via 12 steps)
