Sewing School Courses
Group courses, workshops and 1:1 lessons held locally, in Bawtry, Near Doncaster in South Yorkshire, and online with the Love & Stitches Club.
Courses Overview
5- week, or 5-day sewing courses, with small class sizes, all completely tailored to your individual needs. You choose your project, and together we will work towards creating something wonderful. Each session will cover different aspects of clothes making, and regardless of your starting point, I guarantee that your confidence and skill set will have grown by the end of the course.
What You’ll Learn
- Measure yourself correctly
- Read & understand the pattern
- Picking the right fabric
- Cutting & arranging your pattern to fabric
- Pattern & minor adjustments to fit
- Hemming your garment & finishing off
Practical Info
For your first lesson, you’ll need to have a pattern ready for whatever you are planning to make. You will also need to have sourced and purchased your fabric, but you might not need it in the first session. If you need any advice on patterns, or what type of fabric will be best for your project, I am more than happy to advise you.
I do have a small selection of patterns from independent pattern designers such as ‘Tilly & the Buttons’ available for you to purchase if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What skill level is Sewing School designed for?
All skill levels from beginners through to more experienced sewists. Class sizes are deliberately kept small so each person gets the support they need.
Do I need to bring my own sewing machine?
Most people prefer to bring their own sewing machines to class, but if you haven’t got a sewing machine or you prefer to borrow one in class, just let me know.
I have Janome 230DC Sewing Machines that students can use during their lessons.
Do I need to bring my own fabric?
Yes. You choose your own project and provide your own pattern, fabric and other bits (such as thread, zips, elastic etc) that are required to complete your project.
