You will learn:
You will make 5 easy sewing projects over the course and it will set you up to experiment with projects of your own for confident solo sewing! |
From a simple pin cushion - to a string of bunting, the projects are fun, practical, giftable and clearly explained for maximum learning.
Embedded within them are all the skills and technical knowledge that you will need for your future sewing adventures. It is truly a foundational sewing course and even a seasoned sewist will find there is something to learn. Weekly zoom calls are not compulsory (and are recorded for catch up) but provide a perfect opportunity to get 1:1 support and ask all the questions you may have of our expert tutor! |
What’s great about your course is that you break it down into such manageable chunks. It’s so digestible and so clear. You also explain the WHY behind how to do things which makes it much easier to understand.
|
The course is hosted in a dedicated digital academy with all lessons yours for your lifetime. You can follow through in your own time with the pre-recorded videos and check in in-person to our regular weekly group video calls or monthly thereafter for anyone who has questions about their current module.
Participants share work, support each other and ask questions and support is offered speedily by tutor Annie who checks in with the group throughout the week. |
Each session introduces a series of skills which are worked into a project - practical, useful and good enough to give to friends and family!

I’m a complete beginner to sewing, and have recently started the Back to Basics course. Annie has got me hooked already! Her teaching style is excellent, well paced and really clear, and the videos are easy to follow and in ‘bite size’ chunks...

Hello! I'm Annie Lucas, an award winning bridal & costume designer and passionate sewing teacher.
I trained as a costume designer at Central St Martins and London College of Fashion, and I began teaching 6 years ago after the birth of my first daughter.
It gives me such a buzz to share a skill that brings so much to my life, and to empower my students to love their machines, have their own ideas and express themselves with their new found skills. |
