The Fashion School sewing classes 2009

Sewing for Beginners

If you’ve never sewn a stitch, this class is for you!

In this class you will fit and sew a pull-on skirt with an elastic waist. Sewing machines are provided and classes are small to ensure personalised attention. You will not need to bring anything with you the first week, as you will receive a sewing kit in a nylon tote bag, which is included in the cost, and contains everything you need to start sewing!

You will learn:

  • to navigate your way around a sewing machine;
  • how to use different sewing machine feet;
  • different stitches and when to use them;
  • how to identify different fabrics;
  • to lay out and cut a pattern;
  • pattern and sewing terms; and
  • how to mark and sew a hem.
