Next Program: April 15th, 16th & 17th
Over the course of three days, the group will learn essential sewing skills and create unique handmade items. Our teachers hold qualifications in Textile and Fashion design and will pass on their knowledge and expertise. We pride ourselves in our sewing classes and have developed this program to teach the next generation how to sew.
Each session will start at 9:30am and finish at 3:30pm.
This program always sells out early, please click "check availability" to see if we have spaces left. If there are still available spots, you may proceed through the steps to book. The booking system will ask you to select the next two consecutive days, this is so you receive an order confirmation email for all three days. If you prefer to pay via invoice, please email us.
Day 1 - The group will learn how to design their own fabric using fabric pens. They'll then transform this fabric into a tote bag. The first day is all about mastering the machine and practicing sewing straight lines. We may also have time to sew a cushion cover!
Day 2 - On the second day, the teens will work on making themselves elasticated-waist shorts from a sewing pattern.
Day 3- By this day, the group will be ready for a more challenging project. We'll guide them through making a zippered pencil case with boxed corners. If there's time left over, we normally make up a couple of bookmarks too.
All materials and sewing machine hire is included in the price. If your teen would prefer to bring their own machine, please ensure it was either purchased in the last 12 months or has been serviced in the last 12 months.
