For ages 14 + (with flexibility)
 
First Saturday of the month - 8.30 - 9.30pm
 
This course assumes no prior knowledge, and works through one complete project each class. The students work through an Annabel Sews syllabus, gradually working through key skills like safe use of cutting tools, sewing machines, and irons, as well as creative skills. The students do not need their own sewing machines, and full haberdashery and fabric is provided throughout. If you have a sewing machine at home, I would suggest bringing it along. 
 
Each session is priced per person, should you wish to accompany your child, you will require to book two spaces. 
 
Example projects (not in any particular order): fabric collage, make a tote bag, make a halloween treat bag, make a stocking, make a sweater, upcycle jeans, make a zippy pouch, make a skirt, make shorts!
