Community Learning – Simply Sewing

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!
