Looking for the perfect way to spend your Wednesday evenings? This brilliant 9-week course is exactly what you need! Whether you've never touched a sewing machine or just want to build proper foundations, this hands-on course will take you from complete beginner to confident sewist — one skill at a time, every Wednesday evening.
I start at the very beginning. You'll get fully comfortable with your sewing machine — how to thread it up, wind bobbins, set your tension correctly, choose the right needles, and understand grain line on fabric. No guessing, no frustration — just clear, practical knowledge that sets you up for everything that follows. By the end of your very first Wednesday evening you'll already be feeling confident and ready to go!
Then I build your skills step by step, covering a range of seams and techniques used in real garment making, including a variety of seam types, different zip insertions, knife, box, and inverted pleats both top-stitched and invisibly finished, and pockets.
The course finishes with a project of your choice. You'll select your own pattern, cut it out, and work through the full construction process with guidance every step of the way. By the end you'll have a finished piece you made yourself — and the skills to keep going.
This course is perfect for you if:
You're a complete beginner with little or no experience
You want to learn properly, not just muddle through
You'd love to make your own clothes, home furnishings, or gifts
Places are limited — book your Wednesday evening spot today!
Please bring your sewing machine, an extension lead, thread, and fabric scissors to each class. Once we begin working on your chosen project, you'll also need to bring the sewing pattern and the fabric required to make it. Don't worry if you're unsure which pattern to choose or what materials you'll need—I will help you select a suitable pattern and advise you on the fabric and everything else you'll need when we get to that stage of the course.
Location- The Weller centre 110 Amersham road RG4 5NA
Time 7.20pm-9pm
Dates
The dates of the course will be :- 23rd September, 30th September, 7th October, 14th October, 11th November, 18th November, 25th November, 2nd December, 9th December
