Crochet for Beginners

Crochet is much more than a Granny Square! The therapeutic and health benefits of crochet are well recognized; and as a sustainable textile craft - homewares, accessories, and wearables can be made using short-end and leftover yarn in various colours, weights, and textures creating items.

Whether you're an absolute beginner or an experienced crafter looking to learn new techniques we'll have a class or workshop for you. If you're just starting out on your knitting journey or need a refresher, our Learn to Knit class is the one for you.

Knitting and Crocheting course is offered by Southlands Fabric Sewing Centre. If you have never been in and viewed our store, you are really missing out.  It’s like a wonderland of ideas and creativity waiting to inspire you.

Learn the tips and tricks of Hand Piecing. Learn how to calculate rotary cutting block pieces from drawn to scale blocks. Join us on the slow train in our Hand Piecing Classes.  This wonderful technique might be slower than a sewing machine however its portability makes up for the lack of speed.

All machine lessons and repairs are carried out by our own staff.There is also a large range of Patchwork Fabric, Haberdashery, Embroidery Threads, Books, Patterns, Patchwork Kits, Giftware, Patchwork Classes and Patchwork and Quilting Clubs.
