2-WEEK EVENING COURSE
Wednesday 9th & 16th of October 7-9pm @The Studio in Holmer Green
£70 Suitable for beginners.
 
We've been asked for a short course in the basics of sewing (and getting to know your sewing machine) for many years now and recently have been working with Sam Slator from The Sewing Loft in Chesham to come up with the perfect solution.
 
In this 2-Week Basic Sewing Course Sam will be demonstrating and teaching a number of simple sewing techniques that will be super useful  for all of your future projects.
The course will cover (but not neccessarily in this order!):
threading your sewing machine
winding bobbins
sewing machine feet and their uses
using different stitches on machine
button holes
zips
seams
basic equipment and tools
 
Sam will also be available to answer all of your burning questions, like “What is the purpose of all these different feet?” or "how can I sew in a straight line?"!!
 
What do you need to bring
Ideally please bring your own sewing machine (if this is a problem please contact us and we can supply one subject to how many people need one - first come first served!)
a basic sewing kit containing thread, scissors and pins
 
We will supply all other materials and will be in touch once you have booked your class to discuss your machine and to make sure you have everything you need. 
 
If you want to learn more about Sam and her work then you can follow her on Instagram or visiting her website. https://www.the-sewing-loft.com/
 
Sam will also be running a  one-day Pyjamas Workshop which is a great place to put all of your newfound skills into practise and undetake a basic dressmaking project.

This class will only be able to go ahead if we have a minimum number of 5 guests. All of our teachers are highly skilled in their fields, but being an artist isn't always a well paid profession so we hope you understand why it's important that we ensure that our teachers can afford to run each of their classes. Should the class not be able to go ahead we will contact you no less than a week before the class is due to take place and full refunds will be issued.
