Our beginners sewing course is a great introduction to this life skill whilst having a lot of creative fun along the way. 

Bring along your own machine and enjoy learning to sew in a small group and relaxed environment. 

In this beginner class, students will learn and practice basic machine sewing skills while making a tote bag.

This course is suitable for absolute beginners or as a refresher course for those who haven’t sewn in a while.
