Skills you will learn:

  • Simple pattern layout
  • Cutting out
  • Use of iron-on wadding
  • Using straight stitch and the seam guide on your sewing machine
  • Sewing a plain seam
  • Boxing corners
  • Bagging out (a process where two pieces of fabric are stitched right sides together then when you turn them through the right way the seam allowance is trapped between the two pieces on the inside creating a neat finish to your product)
  • Clipping and grading seams
  • Using the iron for a professional finish

What to bring:

Please note: the cost of the iron-on wadding is included in the class fee.  I will also have some fabrics available at an additional cost of £4.  If you wish to choose your own fabric to fit your colour scheme at home, then the following will be required:

  • Fabric: Please choose woven cotton fabrics.  You will need 40cms of 120cm or 150cm wide fabric for both the outer fabric and contrast lining.
  • Matching thread
  • Sewing machine, if you have one. There will be some machines available, but it is good to become familiar with your own.

Sewing equipment, I will bring everything you need, but you might like to bring any basic sewing things that you have.
