Beginners Sewing Course - NOW ONLINE!

I'm so thrilled that my sell out beginners sewing course is now online - It has been 6 months in the planning and recording - with 66 video tutorials and all the hand outs to accompany it - but its finally here!

This is a comprehensive course to learn your how to master your sewing machine from the ground up - written and revised over 6 years of teaching beginners face to face.  During times of face to face teaching these courses are usually sold out months in advance but now with the power of online I can open them up to (slightly) more people and run them more frequently! 

I never thought that in 48 hours I’d go from awkwardly trying to operate a sewing machine to feeling confident enough to want to try some simple dress making.

Book me on!

Back to Basics is  beginners and refreshers sewing class covering all your machine basics, how to thread, sew, troubleshoot tension, change a needle, adjust stitch length / width.  You will make 5 completed projects over the course and it will set you up for solo sewing! Work the comfort of your own home on your own machine so you can really get to know it. Detailed instructions, handouts and clear video tutorials.

I run this course in a closed Facebook group, with both recorded videos and regular weekly zoom calls for anyone who is struggling to understand a particular aspect of the teaching that week.

This brand new online class begins on 29th October for 5 weeks. Each week we will have a live (optional) zoom call to check in and share progress, and then I will upload the course material for the following weeks.

Each session introduces a series of skills for that week, which are consolidated into a weekly project - each of them practical, gift-able and useful! 

• Week 1: Get to know your machine - threading, tension and more, sewing in a straight line - make a pincushion
• Week 2: Sewing curves - make a padded heart decoration
• Week 3: Seaming and edging techniques - make a french seamed cushion cover
• Week 4: Applique and bias binding - make your own bunting
• Week 5: Inserting a lining into a 3D Object - make a mug cosy

I will teach this course a maximum of 6 times a year - and after this launch the next opportunity won't be until 2020 - so if you've ever want to master your machine, bite the bullet and join us today! Next year the price will go up too - so grab it at the discounted rate while you can :)
