ABOUT THIS CLASS
Private sewing lesson
Whether you’re completely new to sewing or looking to refresh your skills, in this hands-on, beginner sewing class, I’ll guide you through the basic foundations of sewing.
After completing this interactive learn to sew class you’ll be ready to start using your sewing machine with confidence and start altering and upcycling clothes – even make your own clothes.
Note: This class does not include pattern making or how to read a pattern. This is a class in itself!
In this class, I’ll cover
- Basic sewing machine techniques
- Tips for sewing different fabrics
- Sewing kit essentials
- The fundamentals of altering clothes
Note: Due to this being a shorter class (only 2 hours), I will endeavour to cover the above in as much detail as the time permit.
During the class we will sew a basic item like a cushion cover, drawstring bag, lined shopping bag or similar. These sewing projects are designed to encompass a range of sewing techniques suitable for beginner sewers.
Completing a project
During the class, we’ll complete a simple sewing project, such as a cushion cover, drawstring bag or lined shopping bag.
