On the day: We will have a half an hour lunch break together so please bring lunch and snacks. Before Covid 19 I used to provide lunch and but for now I have been advised for people to bring their own, which I am sad about as I loved providing this. Coffee / tea will also be provided but if you would rather bring your own then, of course, are more than welcome. Machines You have the option to work with domestic or industrial sewing machines. We are very lucky to be sponsored by Tysew Sewing Machines and we have a number of different machines all fitted with servo motors which are’ slow speed motors so they are really easy to use and beginner friendly. It is totally possible to make this bag on a domestic sewing machine so if you are more comfortable using one of those it’s no problem at all! We highly recommend you using our industrial machines in this course to really give your bag that professional look. In our studio we have: One flatbed lockstitch Two flatbed walking feet Two walking foot needle feed cylinder arm Skiving machine Rivet press Eyelet press Popper press 4 Janome domestic sewing machines Overlocker Timetable, Booking & Time To view our timetable click here.
