Developing your sewing machine skills
How to create an open seam, hem and neaten

Materials & Equipment:

You will need to bring a project with you. If you are a complete beginner you will need to select a simple or easy beginners pattern and choose a woven fabric to work with. I am happy to answer any queries or questions you may have to help you select a suitable project. Please just email me on nellybeadesigns@gmail.com.

I can loan you a sewing machine for the session but these need to be booked in advance by messaging me.

Equipment is available for you to use on the day.
