Beginners’ Sewing Workshop with Cherrie Stevens
Got a sewing machine at home but don’t know where to start? Or simply fancy learning a creative new skill?
Join us at Studio 101 in Deptford for a relaxed, practical two hour workshop with seamstress and maker Cherrie Stevens. You’ll learn the basics of using a sewing machine and put your new skills into practice by making a simple fabric project to take home.
With a maximum of five people, you’ll have time to ask questions and receive individual guidance.
What you’ll learn
Get familiar with your sewing machine, learn how to thread it and set it up, and practise basic stitching before working on your own small sewing project.
Who is it for?
Complete beginners and anyone who has tried sewing before but needs a little help getting started again. No previous experience is needed.
What’s included?
Sewing machines, fabric and materials for your workshop project are provided. Just bring yourself and a willingness to have a go!
You’re also welcome to bring your own sewing machine if you’d like help learning how to use it. Please let us know when booking and bring its power cable, foot pedal and instruction manual if you have one.
Meet your tutor, Cherrie Stevens
