Make/Do

Blocking out the stresses of the world today, sewing these roman blinds with the back doors open.

My Sewing club girls are embracing the revival of 90's fashion and begged me to make scrunchies with them...

What are your memories of 90's fashion?
Body's anyone !

Anyways wondered what half the squiggles were on the front of your machine?
Or how to use the myriad of attachments that came with it?
Or how to work out what exactly is going on when the thread loops up in funny places when you sew?

Class 5 of Get Sewing is a whistle stop tour of your machine in all its glory
- having a go at every setting and stitch,
- trouble shooting what could go wrong when sewing on your own,
- trying out various techniques,
- & giving you ideas for what to use each one for.

It's exhausting and inspirational in equal measure!

4 weeks ago these students hadn't even got their sewing machine out of the box.

They are now confidently sewing their own clothes.

Getting to know their own sewing machine over 5 sessions means they can use most of the settings, trouble shoot any issues that pop up, and get over the initial fear and paralysis of sewing for the first time. They are now happy to just give things a go, try out ideas and choose their own fabrics.

I'm so proud of them all.
