A day for children aged 8-17 to learn how to use a sewing machine.

This half-day class is the perfect fit for you if you have just started out, or have never even used a sewing machine before. We will teach you:

How to choose an appropriate stitch.

How to use a sewing machine - reverse stitch, starting and finishing your work.

Changing stitch length.

How to make a hanging loop.

How to make and attach a cuff.

You will feel comfortable using a machine, so that together we can make a Christmas Stocking by the end of the class.

This class is designed to help you gain the confidence you need to continue your sewing journey once you get home. Learning some of the basic rules of sewing will give you the best start to help you flourish in your new hobby.

Each ticket covers the use of ONE sewing machine and ONE set of materials for the class. If adults would like to make their own project (not just supervise) another ticket must be purchased.

All children aged between 8 - 15 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Who will be responsible for their behaviour and safety during the class. Children aged 16-17 do not need an accompanying adult.

Supplied: Machines, Fabric, Scissors, Pins, Tape Measures, Haberdashery, Tea, Coffee and squash.
