Do-Op Shop: Ready, Set, Sew!
Event description

This class is perfect for absolute beginners! Whether you’ve recently bought a sewing machine but don’t know where to start, feel unsure about using it, or have never sewn before—this class is for you! It’s also a great starting point if you want to familiarise yourself with our on-site machines before attending other sewing classes at Do-Op.

And, of course, you'll have time to practice!
