What students will learn and make

Experienced Students
This term, students will create their own ruffle-sleeved top - a beautiful, wearable garment that looks as good as something from a shop! They'll learn new techniques including gathering, sleeves, facings, hems and closures. They'll also make a padded Fancy Drawstring Bag with handy internal pockets - perfect for carrying treasures, school supplies or taking on adventures.

Both projects build on previous skills while introducing new challenges and helping students grow their confidence as sewists.

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, bags, soft toys, skirts and more.
