Sewing Machine for Beginners - Live workshop

This workshop is perfect if you've recently purchased a sewing machine and you'd like to learn the basics. Or perhaps you've not sewn for a long time and you'd like a refresher. 

My aim in this workshop is to give you confidence to tackle simple sewing projects. You'll learn all the basics including threading up, what all the dials do, what else you may need, and how to make a simple cushion cover. Please don't worry if you've never sewn before - we'll take it nice and steady :)

Group size will be small so you can ask real time questions and we can work together.
