Saturday 21st of November
10 am -1 pm
Rogart Street Campus, Glasgow
All equipment and fabric provided.
A workshop designed to provide a full introduction to sewing on a sewing machine before progressing further with your sewing projects.
Ideal for absolute beginners who would like a thorough introduction to a sewing machine before joining any longer classes. During this workshop, you will be shown how to thread your machine and master all the basic stitches required for sewing. You'll also be introduced to different machine feet and be given a run down for troubleshooting the machine.
At the end of the session, you'll put your newly learned skills into practice by making a tote bag to take home! To help reduce fabric waste and make sure I am providing the correct choices of fabric for the class, please select your preference from patterned or plain fabric from the drop-down when booking into the workshop.
There's no need to have your own machine as these will be provided-with the option to bring your own if you have one at home you'd like to get to grips with. A choice of fabrics will be provided for your tote bag, you are also welcome to bring along your own if you would prefer.
Class sizes will be small to ensure good one on one time. I will provide all equipment needed for the class-scissors, pins etc., making this a great way to try sewing without having to buy any additional supplies.

Customer Reviews
We had a fab morning learning to use the sewing machine and making our tote bags Steph was so patient and professional have already recommended this to my friends .🧵🪡👍
What a fantastic class. I am a complete beginner having never used a sewing machine before. Stephanie explained everything so well & made the class so easy to follow, the time vanished.
So pleased with my tote. Highly recommend this class
Steph is a really good teacher, she explained everything really clearly, the pace was great and ensured we all kept up. We all made a bag in the time which was wonderful and a real achievement...everything was provided and the location and atmosphere was lovely 😍 would definitely recommend 👌 I am inspired to do more ✨️
This class is a great introduction to sewing. The morning was well structured with useful tips on how to set up the sewing machine, clear instructions and short exercises. I feel a lot more confident using a sewing machine now and am proud of myself for fully making a bag in just a few hours. Steph is a brilliant teacher, patient and encouraging. The class was affordable, and the studio location is ideal, close to a train station and with a lovely cafe on the ground floor.
Steph is such a good teacher. Can’t believe how much we learned in the 3hrs and left with a tote bag! Highly recommend
