About this Event
The workshop is suitable for beginners, so no previous sewing experience is needed. Across the two sessions, participants will learn and practise the basics of using a sewing machine, develop their skills and gain confidence in a friendly, supportive environment.
Day 1 – Sewing Machine BasicsWe will begin by learning and practising the basics of using a sewing machine, including simple stitching techniques. Participants will then make their own scrunchie and make-up bag to take home.
Day 2 – Choose Your ProjectThe second session will build on the skills learned on Day 1, with more sewing practice and a slightly more elaborate project. Participants can choose one of the following:- A tote bag with appliqué decoration- A cushion with appliqué decorationIs.
Is this Workshop Right for Your Teen? This workshop is ideal for teenagers aged 13–19 who are enthusiastic about learning, enjoy being creative and are ready to get involved. Participants should be keen to attend, follow instructions, work independently and take an active part in the activities. We want everyone to enjoy the experience, learn new skills and make the most of the sessions.
A Little Note for Parents and GuardiansThis is a teen-focused workshop designed to help young people learn and create independently in a friendly, supportive environment. Parents and guardians can drop off their teens at the start and collect them at the end of the session.
Each ticket is for one participant only and does not include a parent or guardian. If you would like to join in and take part in the sewing activities alongside your teen, you are very welcome to book a separate ticket for yourself.
