CUSTOM - Half Day Introduction to Sewing Melbourne

Learn to sew in the Holidays! 

Build sewing machine skills and make fun projects in a creative and inclusive environment. 

Suitable for ages approximately 9 and up. 

These custom classes can be booked for a minimum of two students (cost is per student) and will run for approximately 2.5 hours at the Dusty Disco Ball studio upstairs at 84B Charles St Seddon. Times are subject to availability so contact us for options. 

Available classes: 

Introduction to Sewing - Make a Coaster and Placemat

Introduction to Sewing - Make a Pillow Case and Heat Pack

Prerequisites: Classes are suitable for beginner students with little or no sewing experience. 

What you will learn: Students will learn the basics of how to thread a sewing machine, put in a bobbin, cut out their sewing project and sew straight lines. 

What to bring: You may bring along your own sewing machine to learn on, or borrow one of my vintage sewing machines for the day. 

All materials are supplied for the Coaster/Placemat project.  

If students would like to bring their own fabric for the pillow case, please bring along one metre of cotton fabric (craft cotton is fine for summer and you may like to choose flannelette for winter) plus an additional 20 cm in contrast fabric. I also recommend washing your fabric in cold water on a short cycle to eliminate shrinkage.

Upcycled fabrics and scraps will be also supplied for students to use. 

Students can also bring along a snack and a water bottle for a break. 

If you have any questions or trouble booking, contact me on 0419155380.

Looking forward to sewing together!
