Learn to use your sewing machine
This is the perfect sewing course for you if you are a complete beginner wishing to have a thorough introduction to using a sewing machine, learning different sewing techniques. This course consists of three two hour sessions or a 6 hours day course, in which you will be taken from the very basics of setting up and threading a sewing machine to making a tote bag or storage basket, to a wash bag complete with zip and a cushion cover with buttons.
You can bring your sewing machine with you, or use one of ours.
You can use our materials for the first two projects but I would suggest you provide your own material and buttons for the cushion to match your decor.
Overlockers
Have you ever wanted to get to grips with an overlocker but felt a little unsure where to start? This friendly, hands-on beginners’ course at The Craft Studio in Pewsey is the perfect opportunity to discover just how versatile and useful an overlocker can be.
Designed for complete beginners, or anyone who has an overlocker but isn’t quite sure how to use it, this course will guide you through the basics step by step in a relaxed and supportive environment.
