Is there a sewing machine hiding in your house?
Did you promise yourself you'd take that sewing machine you bought out of the box and put it to good use?
Are you returning to sewing, maybe with a new machine that you are not sure of?

In this workshop we are going back to the basics, starting from scratch, and taking you step by step through all the essentials to make learning to sew fun and enjoyable.

This Beginner Sewing Workshop is perfect for complete beginners or people who have sewn in the past but need a refresher, where they will learn how to competently use a sewing machine and complete a small project.
