Suitable for beginners and improvers

This course will be aimed at honing our sewing skills (both machine and hand stitching) with a recycling ethos, where we will focus on creating a patchwork length with found fabrics at home, etc which will be used for a product. I will incorporate hand sewing into the project to offer another form of working. It is also a more relaxed and mindful practice.

The course will include;

Threading and troubleshooting sewing machine and needles, controlling and best practice on machine, cutting and measurement skills, how to use an iron, press and finish a product, cloth and thread qualities, hand stitching , using templates. They will also learn about colour contrast and patchwork design composition.
