Who is this aimed at?
Anyone who needs to refresh their sewing techniques. You must be able to use a sewing machine confidently, and sew straight accurate seams. You should also be able to thread up, wind bobbins and understand sewing machine tension. If you need help with this, then please consider one of my Beginners classes first.

What will I learn?
I'll take you through some common sewing tasks that you'll need if you'd like to start dressmaking again. Plus there's plenty of my tips to help you achieve a professional finish to your dressmaking projects.

The Refresher Sewing Class will cover:

-winding bobbins and threading a sewing machine
-different types of seams
-how to take up a hem
-various methods of neatening raw edges
-trimming and pressing
-edgestitching and topstitching to create impact
-how to sew in a zip.
-how to make buttonholes

While we take every opportunity to ensure the details for Refresher Sewing Class are accurate, we always advise that you contact the event organiser before setting out for the event to avoid disapointment.
