Beginners - Sewing Machine 1 day workshop

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

This class is for total beginners or for those who’d like to gain confidence using their sewing machine.

This may be a basic sewing course but you will also make 3 really lovely practical items along the way. You will use quality fabrics designed by Steph and carefully selected for each project. The 5-hour day (Steph usually allows half an hour for lunch and a bit of time either end for set up and pack up.

This workshop is about immersing yourself in the joy of creativity, ditching perfectionism and embracing the fun of creating..

Not only will you come away with three items, but you will also learn how to:

• Thread a sewing machine.
• Wind and insert a bobbin.
• Feed fabric through.
• Sew in a straight line, change direction and reverse stitch.
• Troubleshoot about common errors  and how to spot them.
•  a hen doorstop.

You’ll learn all the techniques you need to sew independently. Don’t worry if you can’t thread a needle or sew in a straight-line as Steph will show you some nifty hints and tricks to help you along the way. She will guide you through every step in this relaxed, informal, small and fun class.
