Beginners Sewing Course XL - Tuesdays
This introductory course is a good starting point to learn expert sewing techniques whether you want to progress into dressmaking, soft furnishing or craft projects.
About Beginners Sewing Course XL - Tuesdays
Two courses available on Tuesdays:
14th November to 19th December
or
9th January to 13th February
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 200% more fun, and twice as much confidence. This course will take you right through to intermediate level at which point you should be confident enough to move onto Dressmaking. No other sewing course includes more. This course takes place over 6 weeks, 2.5 hours per week. For Adults (16 years +)

How to use a sewing machine safely and confidently
How to wind bobbins and thread a sewing machine

How to sew perfect straight lines, smooth curves and turn corners
