We will learn how to pin up and cut simple pattern pieces from fabric.

The workshop will incorporate this time hand stitching and sewing buttons:

we will aim to complete a personalised wash bag or pencil case with embroidered detail.

If you have a sewing machine, its a good idea to bring your own, so your child can get used to it. Otherwise, I have a few machines here that can be used.

Only 6 places available.
