Join us in 2026 for our Beginners Machine Sewing workshop for children aged 7-12.
Your child will learn the basics of how to operate a sewing machine; how to thread the machine, what all of the functions and buttons are, different types of stitching and what they do, how to create a seam and follow seam allowance. They will then spend the end part of the session putting this all into practice and creating a finished project to take home.
