Learn how to use a sewing machine and start your journey to make your own clothes.

This course will start with the basics and teach you how to thread your machine, how to change and use the stitches and control the machine with confidence.

Once you have mastered the machine, you will learn how to join seams, sew curves, hems and waistbands. You will then learn to cut and sew together pattern pieces to make a small zipped bag and a pair of pyjama bottoms.
