I just asked the members of my sewing community...
'what is the ONE thing that would have given you confidence when you started your sewing journey?'
Do you know what they pretty much all said?
'Doing a course like YOURS'

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.

How does it work?
|
The course is hosted on a dedicated course platform which can be accessed from any device, and supported through a closed Facebook group. The taught material is professionally recorded for you to access over the week, and the regular weekly group video calls provide an opportunity for coaching, mentoring and Q&A about that weeks material.
Participants share work, support each other and ask questions and support is offered speedily by tutor Annie and her team who check in with the group throughout the week. Each session introduces a series of skills for the weeks learning. These are consolidated into a project - practical, useful and good enough to give to friends and family! |
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 The zoom calls are held on a Wednesday evening 8 - 9 pm GMT. Participant numbers are limited so everyone gets proper support, and the calls are recorded so you won't miss out if you are ill or otherwise engaged. The next course begins on the 25 January 2023. |

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. |
