About Family Half-Day Sewing Class
This Family sewing half-day class for adults and children is for those who can already use a sewing machine. This Improver-level class will show you how to be thrifty and make a useful denim apron from old jeans. Please book 1 place per pair (1 adult & 1 child (under 16). If you need a Beginners-level class, please try this one instead.
I learned to sew around the age of 7, on my mum’s Singer machine (it would now be referred to as a ‘vintage’ Singer!). Some of my happiest memories are those evenings I spent sewing with Mum. I’d love to get families participating in crafts together again, and forming family bonds. This easy upcycling project will show you the value in existing fabrics harvested from used clothing.
What’s included:
Make a useful denim apron upcycled from old jeans
Sewing machines, and equipment provided (but you can bring your own if you have any)
I am insured and hold a PVG (Disclosure Scotland) certificate
Sewing is a fantastic activity for children. It assists in developing good hand/eye co-ordination, concentration, manual dexterity, stimulates the creative imagination and aids in project planning. It gives a sense of achievement and self-worth. I believe that it’s such an important life skill that all children should learn – girls and boys. However, they’re going to need ongoing support at home not least being supervised whilst using a machine. So I’m encouraging parents to get involved too. And if the children can sew alongside Mum or Dad, then that’s even more fun.
Artisan Stitch holds a Certificate of Excellence is rated ‘Best sewing classes in Edinburgh’.
