Simple Sewing Skills - 4 week course

This new, short course is designed for those of you who want to get to know your sewing machine better and learn how to make simple projects on it with help and guidance. The course costs £80 for the 4 weeks and spaces are limited. Do come in and ask if you'd like any more information.
The course will be comprised of 4 half-day motning sessions (1.30pm to 4pm) covering the following:-
Week 1 – get to know your sewing machine – threading up, spool prep, tension, needle types, different feet, thread types, cleaning and maintenance and exploring different stitches.
Homework will be practising fancy stitches in preparation for week two’s project
Week 2 – making a simple pouch including using a zipper foot to insert a zip.
Week 3 – learning how to make an envelope back cushion cover and actual construction of a zipped cushion cover.
Week 4 – making a simple tote bag involving French seamed sides and box corners.
We are keeping material requirements to a minimum and will provide what you need for the first session for free. We’ll then let you know what you need for each of the following sessions and whether there is any prep to do for the following week.
Please come along with a sewing kit – scissors, pins, tape measure, stitch ripper etc. and a notebook and pen. You will also need to bring your machine and manual (very important!) and, if you have one, a zipper foot attachment as well as the ‘normal’ sewing foot.
