Description
This is a beginners class for those who have never touched a machine before, or not for a long time. Or for those who are self taught but do not actually have much basic knowledge. You will learn all about tension; stitches; threading up; what threads to use; how to wind bobbins; how to measure and cut fabric; how to make and create seams and hems; seam allowances and making sharp corners, as well as lots of hints and tips along the way. I will also teach you how to look after your machine and what machine to buy if you don't already have one - don't panic buy before the class, as not all machines are created equal! All materials are included. You will also get a copy of my sewing handbook to take home (RRP£17) so you won't have to take notes PLUS access to my beginners online class so you can remind yourself of how to wind that bobbin or how to make that hem!! Most students come out of this class with a huge grin on their face! No matter how clumsy you think you are, or how scared, you will learn to sew - it's guaranteed. To practice these new skills you will then make a cushion cover. As the class is quite long there will be plenty of time for the knowledge to really sink in and for you to get really creative, for all of your questions to be answered and for you to proactive your new found skills. Your teacher: Jennie has been teaching sewing classes at all levels since 2011. She's passionate about sewing, super friendly and patient and believes anyone can learn to sew. The classes are small (maximum of 6 people) and are held in a dedicated craft studio in Jennie's leafy garden in Walthamstow, East London. We have a special place in our hearts for teaching nervous and neuro-diverse people!
