About Beginners Sewing Course XL - Tuesdays
Tuesday 30/09/2025 - Tuesday 04/11/2025
The Beginners Sewing Course XL is an introductory skills-focused sewing course. It’s the best starting point to learn expert sewing techniques whether you want to progress into dressmaking, soft furnishing or craft projects. It’s also a great refresher if you’ve not sewn for a while. Why is it called ‘XL’? – because it’s an extended version of my classic ‘Beginners sewing course’. It has two additional projects to make. This extra practice gives you 50% more fun, and twice as much confidence. This course takes place over 6 weeks, 2.5 hours per week. For Adults (16 years +)
Course Description
You’ll learn how to understand sewing machines, get experience of using different stitch types, learning about stitch lengths, widths and tensions. I’ll explain what the different presser feet are for and you’ll learn how to measure and cut fabric. This skills-based approach underpins all your future sewing projects, enabling quicker learning and greater understanding.
With a small number of students, I’m able to personalise your tuition and you’ll benefit from lots of individual attention.
My Sewing Experience
I’ve been sewing since I was a child (and that’s a lot of years experience). During that time, I’ve made every mistake in the book and learnt how to avoid them. Now you can benefit from my mistakes and learn to sew like a pro as I share my expert tips. I wish I’d known all this stuff when I started to sew.
