Do you want to learn how to sew? Here is your chance!

You will work on your own project chosen from our specially designed range at your own pace. We will take you from learning how to thread a needle to making your own homewares, garments and accessories. You will learn how to use a sewing machine as well as hand sewing techniques in a low-pressured,  friendly environment. 

Places on this course are prioritised for: 

• Local residents experiencing financial hardship.
• Local residents who are feeling isolated. 
• L & Q residents 

Extra information: 

• All materials you will need will be provided.
• Refreshments will be available. Tea, coffee, squash and snacks. 
• Everyone will be working at their own pace on their own chosen projects.
• Classes will be in 6 week blocks with breaks coinciding with children’s school holidays. 
• Participants can join for up to 18 sessions throughout the year. You should then have the knowledge and skills to carry on your sewing journey with us at our Sewcial sessions which also have subsidised places.
