Learn to Sew Melbourne
If you have completed the Sewing Basics Course – congratulations! Well done on jumping in and getting to know the machines and the basics of sewing.
Don’t let everything you’ve learnt go to the dark recesses of your mind. If you don’t keep using your new skills they’ll wind up back there with the knowledge of how long to boil an egg with soft, medium or hard yolk (every time I have to look it up… EVERY time).
So let’s look at projects, resources and information to keep you going!
The best thing about learning to make your own clothes – is putting pockets in everything you make!
Check out Felicity’s sweater made in class. We’re calling it “the mother of dragons” sweater. This was made in our Undercover Sweater Workshop. Felicity found both the dragons print knit fabric and her contrasting knit fabric at Spotlight.
Snuggly Slipper Boots from Tilly and the Buttons
Tilly say’s they’re very quick to put together. They also don’t require much fabric, so are a great stash buster. Enjoy!
To ensure your pattern prints at the right size, be sure to open and print the pattern in Adobe Reader (you can download it for free) and print it at “actual size” or “100% scale” in the print settings. If you’re new to digital patterns, read more about printing and assembling your pattern.
