About this event

Welcome to Sew Beginners - Level 2!

Are you ready to take your sewing skills to the next level? Join Mrs Bee (Nancy) at Coda Music and Arts Trust on Mon Nov 3 2025 at 18:30 to develop your sewing ability and confidence. This 5-week course will focus on specific areas of sewing which will enable you to make better garments and soft furnishings.

After graduating from Ab-SEW-lute Beginners* you will now move onto learning about fastenings and fitting techniques. You will then use these new skills to make a simple skirt.

*It is not essential to have taken part in our previous classes, but some knowledge is required. This course is designed to suit people who have already mastered threading their machine, loading a bobbin and can sew a seam using straight stitch and reverse. We will not be teaching you how to use your machine in this course - if you need a refresher or are a complete novice please try our Ab-SEW-lute Beginners classes.

The studio is very accessible with easy level access to the large carpark.

Ideally, you will bring your own machine, but if you do not have one we can loan one to you for the session. You will need to notify us prior to the sessions.

2m of fabric and a paper pattern to fit you, are both included in the price.

This is a 6 week course starting on Monday 3rd November at 6:30-8.30pm

Frequently asked questions

I have never used a sewing machine before, is this the class for me?

No! You will be expected to know how to thread and use your machine on this course. If you do not know how to do this I recommend you enrol on the Ab-Sew-lute Beginners course.

What do I need to bring?

Bring your sewing machine and accessories and it would be an idea to bring a notepad and pencil too. All fabrics are included in your fee.

Do I need to attend all 5 classes?

Yes. This is a progression course, not something you can just drop in and out of. If you are ill or have an emergency we will obviously be understanding, but ideally you will attend all 5 sessions to achieve your full potential.
