BEGINNERS CLASSES – CHORLEY

Suitable for absolute-never-seen-a-sewing-machine-before-beginners and returning sew-ers alike our Beginners Sewing Course is the perfect way to get crafty! We focus on building confidence, teaching you useful, transferable skills all in a super friendly and sociable environment. Time to FORGET that terrifying Home Economics Class from back in the day- we are the opposite! You’ll learn all about threading the machine then make lots of little projects such as a tote bag, bunting, zipped and lined make up bag, a piped cushion AND there is time at the end for you to start your own project with our help.

No need to bring or even own a sewing machine as we have everything you need in the studio!

Our courses are held in our bright & creative sewing studios in Glasgow, Dundee, Birmingham and Chorley and OBVIOUSLY include free tea/coffee/biscuits.

Top 3 Beginner’s Sewing Class FAQs

I can’t even sew a button on, will I be able to manage on the beginners sewing class?

Honestly we hear this all the time, this course assumes you have zero knowledge at all! In the Maxi Sewing class we even teach you how to sew a button on!

I don’t own a sewing machine can I still join?

If you dont own a sewing machine you can still get involved! Once you have booked we send you out favourite machines for beginners to suit different budgets and we include some discount for you too. We don’t rent out sewing machines I’m afraid and the project aren’t suited to hand sewing so you need to be prepared to either borrow a machine from someone or buy one. Chances are you will love this hobby and want to sew forever anyway so it’s a worth investment!

I can’t make all the live dates can I still book?

Yes you can! We have live dates there for some social interaction with other people as well as live help from the tutor but these are recorded and can be watched back so please don’t worry if you can’t make the live sessions. You can still get involved!
