Have you ever wanted to learn how to sew? Come along and have some fun and learn some new skills!

No experience necessary.

This is a super fun and relaxed group for anyone who would love to learn the basics of sewing.

Together we will learn basic machine functions, such as threading the machine, how to adjust settings and select various stitches, machine sewing techniques and how to solve any problems that may pop up.

You will also learn basic sewing terminology, about various sewing tools and equipment, simple pattern reading, fabric types and which project to use them for, cutting, pressing, and hand sewing skills. Many more things will be covered during the workshops.

Plus, at the end of every workshop you get to take home your very own handmade item!

We are passionate about slow fashion, and making something new and beautiful from used textiles, so we always include this in our projects. Often we already have things in our own home that would be great for upcycling and giving a new life! Please feel free to bring something from home if you would like to include it in your project, but this is completely optional, everything you need to make your item will be provided for you. Keep your eye out for some of the following textiles, you can use the skills you have learnt in our workshops to transform them and give them a second life!

Some fabric ideas include:

• Vintage sheets
• Wool blankets
• Denim jeans
• Jumpers
• Mens button up shirts
• Tshirts
• Vintage table cloths
• Old curtains
• Anything 100% cotton!

So lets get creative!

Come and join us for a fun morning of coffee, connection and most of all sewing!
