Go from being a sewing novice to making your first outfit! In this course, we’ll learn the building blocks of clothes making while stitching up a sweatshirt and trouser set, suitable for all gender expressions.

We’ll begin by making a loose fitted pair of trousers or shorts using woven fabrics. You can choose to make comfy pyjamas for lounging around in, or a pair of smarter trousers to wear outside.

We’ll then move on to making the sweatshirt using stretch material. You can opt to make a raglan sleeve sweatshirt, a t-shirt or a hoodie.

Do you have all the equipment that I need?

Yes, we have everything that you will need but you rae welcome to bring your own machine and equipment.

How big are the class sizes?

We like to keep our classes small so that everyone has enough teacher time. We generally have a maximum of 8. If there are more people wanting to join the class then we will have 2 teachers to make sure everyone still has enough teacher time.

What happens if I need to miss a week?

To get the most out of the class we recommend that you attend every week however we understand that things crop up. We offer 1 catch up session during our Sewcial class which runs on a Tuesday morning or a Thursday evening fortnightly.

Is there parking ?

All the roads around the library are free to park on.

A great 2-day workshop where you learn so much in a short space of time. Cosima and Annie were so helpful, friendly and encouraging.

I loved the basics course. The instruction was great, and I'm pleased as punch by what I've been able to create in just two Saturdays. Definitely will come back for another course in future - I've got the sewing bug!
