Week One – Threading and Driving
We will learn how to thread up the machine and how to drive it. You will get a chance to practice hems and seams, learn how to pin, and if time allows complete a small project to take home to show off your new skills. You will also complete your sewing machine driving test and hopefully get your license too!
Week Two – Cutting and Cushions
We will look at fabric, wrong sides and right sides, how to measure it out (not too much maths don’t worry), how to cut fabric and following instructions to complete a cushion cover which you can take home for your room or make it as a present for someone.
Week Three – Chickens, Chickens, Chickens
We will learn how to make a small stuffed chicken from start to finish using the sewing machines. There will be a choice of fabric types in this session so you can practice working the machine using different materials. You may even get to make more than one if time allows.
Week Four – Channels and a Drawstring Bag
We will learn how to make channels to hold ribbon or cord for the top of our drawstring bag. You need to think about what you want to use your drawstring bag for before the session so that we can get it the right size and add a pocket if we need to!
Week Five – Clothes and Accessories for Toys
We will look at how to design simple patterns to make clothes or accessories for your toys. There will be an element of choice in this session as long as your designs are not too complex for your current skill level. Suggestions include bedding for a toy, skirt for a teddy, night dress for a doll, trousers for a doll or teddy bear, and so on…
