Sewing 101
This course follows the same format that I have used to teach hundreds of people to sew in my workshop, fabric stores and schools for over 15 years. We start from the very beginning, so don’t worry if you’ve never sewed before. And if you’ve been sewing for a while, but without a lot of guidance or a strong technical focus, I’m sure you’ll notice that your skills and finished projects improve dramatically. We’ll start by taking a look at the sewing machine and some of the tools used for sewing. You will learn different stitches and sewing finishes and of course we will have plenty of time to sew! By the end of the course, you will feel confident enough to start tackling some of those dream projects!
