Getting Started with Sewing 4-Week Course
My passion is sewing and my hope is that you build your confidence with me to a point where you can see something, get a pattern for it and get it sewn. Over time your sewing skills will improve but that's with practice. The goal is to get you started!
We'll basically omit the first few failed attempts because I'll be there to show you how to do it and the pitfalls to avoid - because I've done them!
I don't believe in making something cute just the once, calling it a day and never letting your sewing machine see another project.
That's why with me everything we sew will be to teach a new skill. Sometimes we won't even need our machines because cutting patterns etc is very much a part of sewing but no machines necessary!
If you're someone who has always wanted to sew your own clothes or home decor or whatever...but feel intimidated or have had a failed attempt or two...then this is the course for you :)
