UPDATED 20160406 11:49:21

Is this the right course for me? This course is suitable for you if you are new to the sewing machine and want to learn the basics. What will I learn? How to thread up and use a sewing machine. How to cut out fabric and finish seams. How to make a well constructed but simple item of your choice. For example, a small bag, container, cushion or decoration in keeping with the season. How will I learn? You will learn through tutor guidance, hands on practice and making samples, following info sheet and demonstrations, working at own pace. Will I gain a qualification? You will not gain a formal qualification but you may request a Certificate of Attendance and Achievement from your tutor, to be given out at the end of the course. What can I do next? There are longer sewing classes run at Community Learning MK which you can join and learn more about following patterns for dress making and soft furnishing. What do I need to bring to the classes? 1 metre of a medium weight fabric - non stretchy cotton or poly cotton preferably Basic sewing equipment - fabric scissors, sewing needles, tape measure, pins, pattern paper (squared), tailors' chalk, sewing thread, quick un pick. We have sewing machines, but you may wish to bring your own if it is in good working order. Can I talk to someone about my course before I start it? It is usually possible to put you directly in touch with the tutor if a member of the Community Learning MK staff cannot answer your query.
