About the course Sewing For Beginners
This course is designed for those new to sewing and will teach fundamental sewing skills while making a tote bag and an apron. At the conclusion of the course you will be confident at the machine, and will have completed two practical garments.
Expected learning outcomes for Sewing For Beginners
In this class you will learn how to:
- thread and use a sewing machine
- use an overlocker
- lay out and cut your fabric
- sew a garment together
You will learn lots of helpful tips along the way about design, fabric, and construction techniques. If there is time, we will make a bucket hat.
Materials
The tote and apron patterns will be supplied, but you will need to bring pins, fabric, thread, interfacing, etc. Full details will be provided on Week 1 so bring a pad and paper to class.
On the first night you will be learning basic skills and becoming familiar with the sewing machines and overlocker. Karen will discuss suitable fabrics and interfacing options with you, how much you will need, and the best places to shop.
Equipment
Our sewing room is equipped with domestic Bernina sewing machines which are available for you to use during class. You may prefer to bring your own machine to get familiar with its operation. For further information, please call the office on 5219623.

We will discuss your sewing kit on the first week, and the best places to shop for various items.
