Course details:

This course is open to beginners wanting to gain confidence in using a sewing machine and those more experienced who would like to learn/develop their skills in patchwork

Simply Sewing

This practical and fun course will help you gain confidence in using a sewing machine and learn techniques to complete a sewing project of your own.

Under the guidance of our experienced tutor, you will be shown the techniques to create beautifully sewn items using a sewing machine, and will leave with a finished and successful item to take away and be proud of.  You will firstly learn sewing machine basics and create a stitch directory which will allow you to practice sewing in straight lines and have a permanent reference point of stitch length and width.  You will build your skills by working on projects which may include a quilted mat, fabric storage bowl and a tote bag.

Patchwork quilting

Would you like to learn patchwork or develop your existing skills?  Come and join us.

You will have the option to learn different techniques and patterns to design then build your patchwork blocks into a quilt, cushion cover or tote bag.  You will have the opportunity to explore and experiment with fabric, colour and pattern – the opportunities are endless!
