You will learn basics of how to use a sewing machine, how to cut patterns, sew seams, put in a zip, add button holes and how to choose a pattern. You will be shown how to select and prepare the material before cutting and be introduced to an overlocker. You are welcome to bring your own machine or use the machines available within the class.
