Sewing for Beginners

Our beginners sewing workshop 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 basic project.

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

*During COVID: Students studying on-site at NSCC will be asked to assist their tutor in a post-course clean down of the room & anything used during this time. Please understand we are putting in strict protocols across the board to ensure the safety of our entire community.
