We all learn differently! 1:1 classes are the learning method of choice for some of our community.

Our sewing lessons are a great introduction to this life skill whilst having a lot of creative fun along the way. It's perfect for both absolute beginners and a refresher course for those who haven't sewed in a while or want to increase their skills and knowledge.

You can learn how to sew in your own home or you can can come to my studio in Lane Cove. I can travel to you if you are on the Lower North Shore or please enquire about other locations for a travel fee.

You will learn:

• How to thread the machine and wind a bobbin

• How to set up your machine and basic part names and functions

• How to create a simple pattern

• How to cut and pin fabric

• How to sew straight lines and zig-zag

• Basic seam construction and neatening techniques as well as pressing

At the end of this class, you will take home your own handmade item, a cushion, bag or a basic piece if handmade clothing!

Beginner-friendly.
