Do you want to learn how to sew?

Sewing is a very handy skill to possess. Learning to sew is not as difficult as you might imagine. It's all about mastering the basics.

In the coming months Hanny-d will be introducing sewing classes teaching basic techniques that will enable even the most inexperienced to create something of their very own. Classes will be kept to small groups no more than 4 at a time. Individual classes can also be arranged by appointment.

What will I receive?
 Beginners will receive instruction and guidance to learn all the basic skills of using a sewing machine. This will include making samples of seams, hems, zippers and buttonholes.  By the end of the course beginners will have learned how to read and cut out a pattern correctly and all the steps required to create a very simple item of their own. This could be anything from home wares to clothing and handbags....the choice is yours.

Those with intermediate skill levels will receive more advanced tuition in a variety of areas such as learning how to get a good fit and how to do simple alterations. If you already have these skills but feel you need a refresher course that's quite OK. Come along, you might pick up some helpful hints!

 What do I need to start?
 All you need to start is your sewing machine, thread scissors, some basic attachments such as a zig-zag foot, zipper foot, buttonhole attachment and thread in black or white. It would also be a good idea to bring a spare pack of sewing machine needles (Universal type). I will provide everything else including odd buttons, zippers and fabric.

What will it cost?
Six week Beginner Course      $160
Ten week Beginner Course         $250
Single/casual class                       $40
