Beginner Learn to Sew Workshop

Bring along your machine and I will show you how to thread it, practise stitching and make a project just for you. Once armed with the confidence to use your machine, this course will give you the oomph to work on lots of projects. (I can hire a sewing machine for you if you don't have one!)

As this is an absolute beginner lesson, we will take it slow and begin with sewing simple piece, a Tote Bag.
