Learn to sew for beginners at Ford & Guy

6pm-8pm on Thursdays
2 hour class
Ford & Guy, 96 Chilwell Road Beeston, NG9 1ES
Join Suzie in this workshop to learn how to use a sewing machine. You can either bring your own sewing machine or use one of ours (please let us know your preference in the notes when booking). Suzie will guide you through threading your machine, various types of stitches, how to trouble-shoot issues with your machine and its maintenance. You will also have the opportunity to make a small item to practise what you have learnt. This can either be a needle/pin book, a scrunchie or an idea of your own.
Suzie will also be able to answer any questions that you have and provide advice for your sewing projects.
