Learn to machine sew - and make a simple tote bag

Never sewn before?

Or maybe you did a very long time ago, and you need a back-to-basics refresher?

Learn machine threading, and straight and zigzag stitching. And practise these skills by making a simple tote bag to take home.

Sewing machines and all materials provided.

We love to encourage reuse and repurposing, so if you have some fabric you’d like to use – or reuse! – you’re welcome to bring it along. Perhaps a pillowcase you could use for lining, or a sheet (that's not worn thin). You only need about 1m x 0.5m – bring along what you have and we'll see if it will work 😀

Facilitator Sam Pilling is a passionate home sewer and sewing teacher who is known for her upcycling and textile waste reduction efforts. You can see her work on Instagram @seamlesslyxsam

Booked out, but you can put your name on the waiting list for the Learn to machine sew workshop!
