Learn to Sew: Casual Basics

Wednesday 6th November - Wednesday 11th December 19.00 - 21.00
Weekend Course: Saturday 23rd November - Saturday 30th November 10.00 - 17.00

Go from being a sewing novice to making your first outfit! In this course, we’ll learn the building blocks of clothes making while stitching up a sweatshirt and trouser, suitable for all gender expressions. 

We’ll begin by making a loose fitted pair of elasticated trousers or shorts using woven fabrics.

We’ll then move on to making the sweatshirt using stretch material. You can opt to make a raglan sleeve sweatshirt, a t-shirt or a hoodie.

You can work at your own pace with individual attention from our experienced teachers. Best of all, you can relax, unwind and make new creative friends!
