May 15th, 2013 — Courses, Stitching, Workshops, craft
A number of my students have expressed an interest in a fast-paced sewing course.
That is why I have designed a series of intensive Sewing Bootcamps - new hands-on courses which will help budding sewers master all of the basic skills and techniques they will need to tackle dressmaking and soft furnishing projects.
These courses will obviously cover more than I am able to cover in a 3 hour Workshop and will allow me to do many things which I don’t have time to deal with in the shorter time-frame.
Bootcamp 1 will run over 4 consecutive weekdays (mornings 9.30 – 12.30) or over two Saturdays (mornings 10am – 1pm and afternoons 1.30pm – 4.30pm)
I will teach students about:
- The different functions of a sewing machine
- Different fabrics and their uses
- Pattern markings
- The importance of precision
You learn and develop skills such as:
- Machine Sewing
- Hand sewing
- Inserting a zip
- Cutting out fabric using a pattern
And everyone will leave the course with a bag and cushion!
The starting dates of Sewing Bootcamp 1 are:
- 28th May (weekdays)
- 8th June (weekends))
- 10th June (weekdays)
Information about Bootcamp 2 and Bootcamp 3, which will cover more
advanced skills, to follow!
To find out if the Sewing BootCamp is the right course for you please call me on 087 953 68 18, email me on maebh@seweasy.ie or
fill in the enquiry form on the seweasy.ie website
