Would your child love to learn how to use a sewing machine but doesn’t know where to start?
This beginner-friendly course is designed especially for children who are completely new to sewing. Over two fun and relaxed sessions, we’ll introduce the sewing machine step by step, helping children build confidence while learning important sewing skills.

basic sewing machine care and good sewing habits
š§µ There is plenty of time for practising, asking questions, and building confidence at a comfortable pace.
By the end of the course, children will feel confident using a sewing machine and will be ready to progress to our next children’s sewing lessons.
