TThis course consists of 3 sessions, each lasting from 18:00 to 21:00 on Fridays: November 22nd, 29th, and December 6th. Classes are kept small, with just 4 students to ensure individual attention and a supportive learning environment.

Lesson 1 covers the basics: threading the sewing machine, sewing straight lines, clipping corners and curves, cutting a square pattern, and fundamental hand sewing techniques. To apply these skills, we will create a simple pincushion together.

Lesson 2 focuses on pattern making for a bag. You will learn how to add seam allowances to a pattern, cut a pocket pattern, cut fabric accurately, and sew a patch pocket.

Lesson 3 teaches French seaming for finishing side seams, attaching a lining neatly, hemming techniques, and adding straps to your bag.

Throughout the course, pattern cutting paper, sewing machines, and all necessary tools will be provided, along with tea and coffee to keep you refreshed. Please note that you will need to purchase your own fabric and thread for the course.
