This 6 hr beginners children's course is designed to cover all the basic introductory skills in a relaxed and non-pressured way. The course has been carefully structured so that your child will start from the beginning of how to thread a sewing machine and fill a bobbin and gradually build upon their skills and knowledge by making items that demonstrate different skills (Pin Cushion, appliqued cushion with a button, lined tote bag). They will learn how to:
- Safely use a sewing machine

- Fill a bobbin
- Sew in straight and curved lines
- Use various stitches - straight, zigzag, decorative
- Use different feet - standard, buttonhole, overcasting

And much more about… Types of fabric their uses…techniques… hints and tips…terminology, creativity and construction…
