Is there nearby parking?

There is a free three hour car park just two minutes walk away. The car park is in Church Street (PL3 4DT). Do remember to register your car, there's no ticket to display. In addition there is plenty of on-street, unrestricted parking in nearby streets.

What happens if I'm unable to attend the workshop but have paid and booked a place?

If you cancel your booking 7 days or more in advance of the event, a refund will be provided.

Are refreshments included?

Absolutely! There'll be plenty of drinks and biscuits on the go! Please do let us know if your child has any food allergies that we need to be aware of.

What does my child need to bring to the workshop?

A sewing machine in good working order. If possible, bring the manual (if you have it), and whilst it sounds really obvious, don't forget the power lead - we have had that forgotten at workshops! Everything else is provided.

Do I stay with my child throughout the workshop?

There will be two of us on site who are both DBS checked, so parents / carers can either drop off and collect promptly at the end of the workshop. Or if you feel your child would benefit from extra support from yourself you are welcome to stay. There are local coffee shops near by.

Little Stitches - Beginner Workshop Tickets, Friday, Apr 17 from 10 am to 12 pm

Overview

Fun Easter sewing workshop for children 8+: beginners learn to use a sewing machine, build confidence and create their own project.

Is your child interested in learning how to sew? Or wanting to try something new over the Easter holidays? This workshop is perfect for children wanting to learn to sew who have never used a sewing machine before, or equally for children who haven’t sewn in a while and would like to refresh their skills.

Join our tutor Hannah, on a journey where your child will get to know their sewing machine and build their confidence in a friendly, creative environment. Learning in a small and relaxed group (max. 6 children), where no question is too silly to ask, and absolutely encouraged!

Hannah will guide the children through each step with hands on instructions/ demos and lots of encouragement, making safety a priority to ensure a fun and safe learning experience for all.

Sewing can be a wonderful creative outlet for a child. It can develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, problem solving & confidence. Sewing can teach kids that with patience, effort and creativity they can achieve their goals - an invaluable life lesson.

There’s something magical about seeing a child’s face light up after completing a project they have made all by themselves.

This workshop is suitable for children age 8+

What will my child learn?

-In this 2 hour workshop Hannah will go over the very important health and safety when using a sewing machine.

-The key features of a sewing machine.

-We will practice control of a sewing machine - sewing straight lines, curves, pivoting for corners.

-Practice a stitch sample - threading the needle, winding a bobbin, straight stitch, zigzag (if your machine has it), back stitch and seam allowance.

-Finally each child will make a lovely cushion cover to take home and enjoy!
