Beginners Sewing Day – parent & child
The Beginners Sewing Day – parent & child is a quick and easy introduction to sewing. It’s also a lovely opportunity to learn to sew together. Learn how to use a sewing machine and gain some basic sewing skills. Then make a lined reversible tote bag.
All adults must be accompanied by a child aged 8 or over.
Level: Beginners (adults and children). This is a lovely class for parents to accompany their children (all genders welcome) and learn to sew together. Price shown is for one pair (1 adult and 1 child = 1 place) and includes all fabrics.
You’ll learn how to understand sewing machines, wind bobbins, and thread it up. You’ll learn how to make simple seams, measure and cut fabric.
Then there’s an easy sewing project to make so you can practice your new skills.

Sewing machines are provided or you can bring your own if you have one. But if you are considering buying one, then I’m happy to give advice on what to look for. I recommend Pembertons, the specialist sewing machine dealer.
