Beginner Machine Sewing Course

3 week evening or full day Beginner Machine Sewing course at Creative Space.

Get to know your way round your sewing machine and learn the basic techniques through a series of small projects to take home. Choose from our 3 week evening course or opt to do it as a full day workshop. See dates and times below.

The course includes threading and setting up, different stitches, hemming, inserting a zip, making and joining pieces of a simple pattern. This is based on learning how to use your own machine but we have our own machines available to hire for an additional £10 if you don't have your own (payable at the venue).

There will be a max of 7 students, each with a separate workbench. Taught by professional bag maker and sewing teacher Lauren Holloway.
