IMG_4450

The After School Sewing club is for a mixture of sewing abilities,

Taught by Jane Gordon – Advanced DBS checked tutor with experience of teaching young people how to sew for more than 10 years.

Depending on your sewing experience, projects will be chosen to develop new skills.  We make items such as pencil cases, bags, cushion covers and simple dressmaking projects to learn different techniques such as zips, button holes, bias binding, Neat and tidy hems and seams, and how to follow sewing patterns.

Tuesdays 4 – 5.30pm – Intermediates/confident

Suitable for age 11+ with some experience of sewing projects using a sewing machine

We tend to work on different projects in this group, chosen by individuals

 

Wednesdays 4 – 5.30 – Confident beginners-intermediate 

Suitable for age 8 plus.

This session is for anyone who is confident using the sewing machine and has had some experience of sewing projects using the sewing machine.

We tend to work together on one sewing project during these sessions.  Projects usually vary from bags and accessories to clothes.

 

Thursdays 4.30 – 6pm – Confident

Suitable for age 12+ or anyone who has been to sewing clubs for some time to build confidence.

This is a good session for anyone taking GCSE or A-Level textiles at school

In these sessions, each student works on their own project with help where needed.  They should feel confident enough to work independently for some of the session.

 

There will be a maximum of 8 students in each session, and up to 6 in the complete beginners class to allow for each student to have plenty of attention and support from the tutor

Sessions run as a block of usually 6 weeks (sometimes 5) depending on the term length and are to be booked and paid for in advance to secure a place.
