In this beginner’s 10 week course I will introduce students to the skill of sewing on a sewing machine. This is a fun and creative class where students will learn a new craft in a relaxed atmosphere. My name is Naoise Farrell, I have a BA 1.1 hons degree in Fashion design and I now teach sewing to all ages and abilities. I am really looking forward to introducing you all to my favourite craft, sewing and to teach you how to apply this new skill to some projects.

Beginners will learn the following:

• How to thread and operate a sewing machine
• Basic machine maintenance
• Introduction to a pattern
• Pinning and cutting
• Seam allowance, seams, hemming, gathering, back stitch
• How to undo mistakes
• Machine troubleshooting

Teacher will provide a sewing pack in the first class – this will occur a extra charge of 15 euros

Sewing pack will include all fabric/s and materials needed for the project/s made during this 10 week course

At the end of this course students will feel comfortable with a sewing machine and will have the basic skills needed for most sewing projects.
