One-Day Workshop // 10am - 5pm // Cost: £60 + Fabrics // Level: Pure Beginners // Instructor: Susie Haigh, Designer // Project: Tote Bag
Learn the basics of how to use a sewing machine and make a tote bag in a fabric of your choice.
If you can't commit to a longer course, or you want to dip your toes before diving in to the world of sewing, then this one-day course is designed for you. Learn sewing machine basics, stitches & seams, fabric terms, simple hems, and basic seam finishes. Create your very own tote bag in a fabric of your choice.
This is a Pure Beginner workshop, which means it's tailored for absolute beginners, or anyone who needs to brush up on the basics. The setting for this course is the relaxing atmosphere of The Stitchery studio, which comes equipped with a sewing machine for each student (you may bring your own if you wish).
Outcomes
- A basic set of sewing skills and hopefully the confidence to go on and try more.
- A unique tote bag in a fabric of your choice.
- A sample book, made by you and full of the techniques you've learned as part of the course. Use this for future reference.
- A copy of the Intro to Sewing e-book, which you can use for future reference.
