Learn to Sew Saturday Morning

Every Saturday morning from 9:30 for 3 hours. This Learn to Sew course is designed for adults who are new to sewing, been away for a while from sewing or just want a refresher making some new projects

Bring your sewing machine with a basic sewing kit (scissors, pins, fabric marker, measuring tape) or borrow one of my sewing machines for an additional fee of $10 per week or $40 for the term.

This is a term based course so attendance is for each Saturday and the course fee covers all 5 dates (We won't be meeting on 6th March).

We will make a variety of items over the 5 weeks. Patterns can be purchased separately for you to make the items again at home. Fabric will need to be purchased but can be bought as a kit from me for each item we will be making.

Week 1

After learning to thread the machine and identify its basic parts we will cut and stitch a lined tote bag

Week 2

After setting up the machines we will cut and stitch a handy zippered pouch.

Week 3

A consolidation of the steps so far, we will combine the simple shape f the tote bag with the zip skills of last week to make a zippered crossbody bag that can hold a phone and other essentials.

Week 4 & 5

Adding another skill we will cut and make a skirt with elasticated waistband. This could be for an adult, teenager or child. We will go through the measurements, check them twice and then cut in week 5 and finish stitching in week 6. Decoration can be added to the skirt through embellishment with ribbon, ric rac or pom poms.
