  • Face-to-face – 3 x 3 hour weekly workshops.
  • Online – 6 x 1.5 hour weekly workshops.

  • Threading and setting up your machine, using sewing kit tools, getting familiar with the terminology.
  • Identify zippers and inserting a centred zip, understanding and using interfacing, the anatomy of fabric.
  • Tracing out, cutting technique, sewing at seam allowance, bagging out a lining.

What you get

  • Detailed handouts.
  • Experienced and friendly teachers to take you through everything from the very beginning.
