About this Event

This course is designed for people who have no / very little experience of using a sewing machine, or who need to update their skills. It will cover how to thread up a machine, joining two pieces of fabric using different seams, turning corners and button holes. There will be the opportunity to have a “play”, experimenting with different stitches. It will allow you to familiarise yourself with the machines used by Happy Hare, enabling you to go on and enrol on one of our other sewing classes.

All materials will be provided.

Tea, coffee, soft drinks and homemade cake are included.
