Happy Sewing, Helen xx

Complete Beginner - These classes are suitable for complete beginners! Perfect for you if you’ve never used a sewing machine before and you want to get started or you’ve sewn before but need to build your confidence to get going again!

Beginner - These classes assume that you have some previous experience with a sewing machine and that you can thread a machine and sew with a straight stitch (even if it’s a bit wobbly and you aren’t feeling totally confident!).

Confident Beginner - These classes are for you if you can sew confidently with a straight stitch but you are looking to expand your skill base to include new techniques and skills and working with more demanding materials.

Intermediate -  These classes are aimed at more experienced sewers and are for you if you have experience of sewing a variety of items and are happy with common sewing terms.

Advanced - Whoa! Your sewing skills are already hot to trot! These classes are for you if you can confidently read sewing patterns, sew a range of items and navigate most sewing terms.
