What students will learn and make

Experienced Students
This term, students will make their own Panel Skirt, learning new construction techniques to create a stylish, wearable piece they can make their own with fabric choices and colourful topstitching. They’ll also sew a Pocket Bag, a fun little shoulder bag in a fabric of their choice, perfect for carrying everyday essentials and adding a pop of colour to any outfit.

Beginner Students
Students new to sewing will learn how to safely use a sewing machine, sew straight seams, follow simple patterns and build confidence through fun projects.

They’ll create a range of awesome pieces along the way, including scrunchies, pin cushions, soft toys, skirts and more.
