Want to learn to sew in a fun and sociable setting?
COMPLETE BEGINNERS' SEWING COURSES
Mondays 11th, 18th, 25th September and 2nd October - £90 (ALL MATERIALS INCLUDED) - 4 places left (as of 18/08/170
The popular Complete Beginners' Course is back. Learn how to use a sewing machine and come away with some lovely completed projects you'll be proud to show off.
Unlike other courses, everything you need is provided. Here's a list of the projects you can expect to come away with:
- a cushion cover (with or without applique, depending on experience)
- a large bag (with or without a zipped pocket, depending on experience)
- a framed purse or zipped make up bag
- fourth project kit of your choice to take home
Don't worry if you've never even switched on a sewing machine before - this course is designed to get your confidence up so you can move on to sew all sorts of fun things. If you can already use a sewing machine but need a bit more experience before moving on to sew clothes, then this is also for you - there is plenty of scope to make the simple projects a bit more detailed - for example by teaching you how to add applique to the cushion, or by introducing a zip pocket to the bag.
5 places left (as of 18/08/17)
Mondays 9th, 16th, 30th October and 6th November - £70
Dig out those unfinished projects (it needn't be sewing - anything crafty goes) and make the most of some help on them, or, just turn up and eat cake and natter. Everyone is welcome.
The next Sewing Club is on Thursday 28th September, 7.30 pm at Fancy.
