Learn to Sew: Casual Basics

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 elasticated trousers or shorts using woven fabrics.

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.

You can work at your own pace with individual attention from our experienced teachers. Best of all, you can relax, unwind and make new creative friends!

You’ll learn:

• How to measure your body
• How to use a sewing machine
• How to read basic pattern terminology
• How to sew hems and finish seams
• How to make a casing to add in elastic
• How to sew pockets (optional)

Who’s it for?

This course is suitable for complete beginners who have never used a sewing machine before or those who have basic knowledge but want some practical clothes-making guidance.

Sewing machines and all tools will be provided but you’re welcome to bring your own.
