With Angie White
This introductory beginners sewing class will teach you all the basics to get you started on the sewing machine! You will learn the parts and features of a sewing machine, how to set up the machine, the different stitches, settings and seams and how to solve common sewing problems. The beginner sewing lessons covers sewing techniques including: how to do button holes, finish a raw edge and stitch a hem. This is to prepare you for the goal project – a cushion cover! You will make your own cushion cover and learn about preparing and cutting fabric.
The course fee includes a Sewer’s Starter pack valued at RRP$35 which is made up of a pair of fabric scissors, thread clippers, dress pins, tape measure, tailor marking pencils, hand sewing needles, black thread, cream thread, white thread and a cushion insert. For your cushion cover, please bring a 40cm long fabric piece of your choice with 4 matching buttons.
This is our most popular sewing class for learning how to sew and is perfect for beginners or if you just need to brush up your sewing skills. Classes are split into 2 x 2.5 hour classes. Places are limited to 4 students to ensure everyone gets personal attention and can learn at your own pace.
This course is taught on Janome sewing machine models MW3018 / My Excel 18W (mechanical), but you are welcome to bring your own sewing machine.
