Community Learning – Simply Sewing

This is one of our Community Learning Courses and runs until the end of June.

This practical and fun Community Learning Simply Sewing course is open to anyone who wants to gain confidence or build on their skills in using a sewing machine and learning techniques to complete a sewing project of their own.

Under the guidance of our experienced tutor, you will be shown the techniques to turn ideas into beautifully sewn items using a sewing machine, so you can have a finished and successful item to take away and be proud of.

Project ideas may include a cushion cover, a fabric book cover or a tote bag. You may want to add an applique design to a skirt you own or up-cycle a denim jacket.

You will be shown the techniques to turn ideas into beautifully sewn items.

Participation and creativity can offer relief and increase your wellbeing, having a positive effect on your day-to-day life!
