Get to know your sewing machine and leave the class with a machine sewn handbag - the perfect accessory to your wardrobe to carry all your bits around. This is also a great class to learn how to upcycle some of your unloved garments into perfect gifts for family and friends.
The class is aimed at those crafty souls new to using sewing machines or those who’ve not used one for a while. In this session you will learn how to thread a sewing machine, wind a bobbin, change needles and tips to sew in a straight line.
We keep this class small with a limit of only 4 people so you will get plenty of guidance and tuition over the 3 hours.
Make sure you try our next stage sewing workshop and make a gorgeously cute pouch. Click here to learn how to insert zips & buttonholes after you have attended this class.

About This Class:
If you've met the T&C team you'll know that we totally love our dungarees! They're extremely comfy, go with anything, and we can eat as much cake as we like wearing them too. Winning on all fronts!
Making your own dungarees is easy too.
No. Pattern. Required.
We will take you all the way through the process of making these during two online sewing classes, and by the end of the second week you'll have a gorgeous pair of dungarees AND know how to recreate the pattern to any size (cue those orders coming in from friends and family!).
We will ask to cut out the pieces prior to the first session (this saves us a lot of time so we get sewing in the online classes) but don't worry we have made a really easy worksheet for you to walk through at your own pace and our resident expert sewer is on hand to help you through it if you get stuck - you just need to drop us an email and we'll arrange a callback to help you.
