The instructor was very kind and welcoming, and she showed me a range of different stitches to use. It felt like the time flew by, and it was great to have a piece to take home with me, and the understanding of what I could do to finish the last few bits!

Five top tips for needlework newbies
Just kicking off your sewing and embroidery journey? We've got you!
-
Start simple: Master the basics first. Don't feel pressured to jump into complex projects straight away, and instead begin with fundamental stitches like the running stitch, backstitch, and slip stitch.
-
Choose the right tools and materials: Having the correct equipment makes a huge difference, so invest in a good quality pair of sharp scissors, a selection of needles (various sizes), thread suitable for your fabric, and pins. For beginner sewing projects or your first needlework course, a basic starter kit is often ideal and can be found at craft stores or sometimes provided by local sewing workshops.
-
Practice makes progress (not perfection!): Like any skill, needlework takes practice! Don't be discouraged by your first attempts; use scrap fabric to practice your stitches and techniques – the more you practice, the more comfortable and confident you'll become! Look for drop-in sewing sessions or casual needlework groups listed on ClassBento for ongoing practice opportunities.
-
Follow clear instructions and seek guidance: Whether you're using a pattern for a beginner sewing project or learning a new embroidery technique in a workshop, follow the instructions carefully. Don't hesitate to ask your tutor questions during a sewing class or seek out online tutorials from reputable sources. ClassBento's experienced sewing instructors are a fantastic resource for personalised guidance.
-
Enjoy the process and be patient: Needlework is a rewarding and mindful craft, so relax, take your time, and enjoy the process of creating something with your own hands. Don't get frustrated by mistakes – they are part of learning! Celebrate your small victories and the beautiful things you'll create through your needlework journey.
