Monday Evening 9 Week Beginners Sewing Course

9-Week Monday Evening Beginners Sewing Course

New to sewing, or ready to finally learn it properly? This 9-week course takes you from complete beginner to confident sewist, one step at a time.

You'll start with the essentials — getting comfortable with your machine, threading up, winding bobbins, setting tension, choosing needles, and understanding grain line. From there, you'll build core garment-making skills, including a range of seam types, zip insertions, knife/box/inverted pleats, and pockets.

In the final stage, you'll choose your own pattern and fabric and sew a complete project from start to finish, with guidance throughout — so you leave with a finished piece and the skills to keep making.

Ideal if you have little or no sewing experience, want proper foundations rather than shortcuts, and dream of making your own clothes, homeware, or gifts.

What to bring: sewing machine, extension lead, thread, and fabric scissors (pattern and fabric needed once you reach your project).
