This beginner sewing course in Nottingham is designed for adults who want to learn how to use a sewing machine with confidence, or return to sewing after some time away. Delivered by Skilled Hands CIC, it offers a practical, supportive introduction to sewing in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Your 4 weeks session starts counting from the day you join.
This course is completely beginner-friendly. No previous sewing experience is needed at all! Classes are kept small so you’ll receive plenty of individual guidance, and everything is taught step by step to help you feel comfortable and confident as you learn.
What to expect:
  • Four weekly sessions focused on building core sewing skills.
  • Learn how to thread a sewing machine, change needles, and understand basic settings.
  • Practice straight stitching and improving hand control.
  • Learn how to insert a zip.
  • Guided support throughout from experienced tutors.
  • Create two final projects: a cushion cover and a tote bag.
By the end of the course, you’ll leave with practical sewing skills you can use independently, two finished handmade items to take home, and a Skilled Hands Certificate of Achievement. Most importantly, you’ll gain the confidence to continue sewing on your own and explore new creative projects in the future!
Please note: If you arrive more than 10 minutes late, you won’t be able to join the session, as we need to keep everything running smoothly. Thank you for understanding!
