New Seams: Beginners Sewing Workshop

Never picked up a needle? Or you have a machine, but either don't know or can't remember how to use it? Come and figure it out with Lizzie in ‘New Seams’ – a day-long session for beginner / refresher sewers.

We'll work through the ‘Betty’s Bag’ project bag pattern designed for complete beginners. This introduces you to some key terms you’ll find in sewing patterns and will set you up to have a go at beginner-level garment patterns. Go home having sewn a beautiful lined bag with a secret phone pouch attached. Yes, really!

The workshops take place at Lizzie's studio in central Bristol, and you will receive a kit with all materials including a lovely little notions tin.

Age restrictions: 18+

Adult (Adult – full price) £95
