Beginners Learn to Sew Clothing Course

Duration: 6 weeks x 3 hours

Skill Level: Beginners

 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

Learn to make your own clothes from scratch in this absolute beginners sewing class. You'll be guided through the whole sewing process from learning to use a sewing machine to cutting, fitting and sewing a garment of your choice from a selection of design options provided. With a maximum number of 6 students per class, you'll get more one-on-one time with your teacher.

This is a 1 session a week class over 6 weeks which gives you time in between to practice your new skills from home.

Bobbin and Ink is an LGBTQI+ safe space and this course welcomes women, men and anyone identifying otherwise. The content of the class is geared towards adults, but if you know a teen or child who wants to learn to sew, check out our Kids and Teens Learn to Sew Clothes Course.
