Sewing skills

Do you want to make or customise your own clothes but don’t have the confidence because you don’t know the basics?  Do you have a sewing machine that you have hardly or never used?

Would you like to learn how to sew and neaten seams,  sew hems and  attach fastenings? In this  SERIES of workshops Deborah Davis will show you how to go back to basics and make  small constructed samples that will be displayed in a
small sketchbook with the information provided.  You will learn the names of seams and hems  and where /how they are used. These will be the building blocks of making clothes or doing alterations.

All materials, threads and notions provided.

You can bring your own sewing machine or let us know if you will need us to provide one.
