Your First Step Into the Joy of Stitching
If you’ve ever looked at a sewing machine and thought, “I wouldn’t even know where to start”, then this is the course for you.
Our Intro to Sewing class is designed especially for absolute beginners – no prior experience needed, no pressure, and no silly questions. Just a friendly, supportive environment where you'll learn the very basics of sewing from the ground up. Whether you're curious about crafting, looking to mend your own clothes, or dreaming of making your own garments or homeware, this introductory session is your gateway into the world of sewing.
What You’ll Learn
Over the course of this short, focused class, we’ll guide you through the essential skills you need to get started with confidence. You’ll learn:
How to thread a sewing machine correctly
Winding a bobbin and understanding its function
How to change a needle safely and correctly
Getting to know the parts and settings of a sewing machine
Practising a range of basic stitches, including straight, zig-zag, and decorative
How to troubleshoot common beginner issues (like tangled thread or skipped stitches)
Using different types of fabric
Safe and efficient use of sewing tools
By the end of the session, you’ll have completed several small but satisfying sewing projects to take home – useful and lovely pieces that you’ll feel proud of. More importantly, you’ll leave with the confidence to continue practising at home or take the next step with one of our more in-depth classes.
