Course layout
• Day 1 & 2 All students will be introduced to the workings of a sewing machine. We will start a small design project to learn the basic stitches (pin cushion). They will be set a small design project to begin (asked to use there imaginations to design a scarf). They will learn to translate their design ideas into a pattern. Shown how to prepare fabric for cutting and prepare the piece for sewing. We will then sew on the machine. With the finished project they created we will then show students how to embellish their piece to create something uniquely theirs.
