Course programme

Course overview:

Learn how to set up, thread and use a sewing machine from scratch, then put your new talents to use by making a super comfy cushion. You can choose from a button detail class or inserting a zip class. All fabrics, cushion pads, machines, equipment and good times included!

Areas we cover include threading the machine; winding a bobbin; learning the different functions of the machine; sewing seams; sewing in a straight line; sewing curves, corners and pivoting; finishing seams and reverse stitching; making buttonholes; sewing on a button; inserting a zip; machine hemming; understanding fabrics, grain lines and seam allowances; using a pattern; pinning and marking fabric.

We’ll also supply some written information to take home, along with your pattern.

All fabric and machines are provided, although if you would like to bring your own sewing machine to learn on, or your own fabric, you are welcome to.
