How will I learn?

The tutor demonstrates the skills to be learned in each session and will be on hand to answer any questions and offer advice. Handouts will be given at the end of each class so learners can make further projects at home.

What do I need to bring?

Your working sewing machine. Please note it may be worth putting your machine in for a service before the class if it has not been used in years to avoid disappointment in the first lesson if it doesn’t work.

A basic sewing kit will be needed. We suggest at least: fabric scissors or a rotary cutter, quilting ruler, cutting mat, little thread scissors and pins

You will need to bring fabric and thread for each project so that the projects are unique to you and your style.

We will be in touch before the start of the course with what you will need for Week 1.

What else do I need to know?

Please bring your machine to the sessions.
