Sewing Course for Adults: Level 2

On the search for relaxing indoor activities in Perth? Our sustainable sewing studio is open to anyone who wants to dive into the world of creativity and sewing.

This course is a good opportunity to try this hobby, to learn new design skills, learn how to use a sewing machine without any fears and spend some 'me-time' for themselves!

As a mother, your teacher remembers how much she wanted some spare time (a couple of hours at least) to change perspectives, gain new emotions and return to her daily routine a little bit refreshed.

At the first glance, you can’t even believe that something beautiful and useful can be created from different pieces of fabric but in two hours you will be holding in your hands what you have created yourself!

This course has been designed for those who already done our Sewing Course for Adults: Level 1 or for those who had some experience in sewing.

If you are not a beginner and have some sewing experience and would like to learn how to:

• Choose patterns
• Fit to size
• Select fabrics
• Cut correctly
• Handle seam
• Use the iron
• Perform various processing techniques

Then you can choose this course.

During this course you will be making:

• An apron
• Shorts
• A top
• A skirt

You will also learn how to:

• Use interfacing
• Use binding
• Sew a neck line or an armhole
• Make a hem
• Do a gathering
• Make an elastic belt
• Use overlocking machine
• Handle seams without overlocking machine
• Make a buttonhole
• Sew buttons on a sewing machine

These things are simple, but each of them will be very beautiful and will fit you and you will be able to repeat these projects for yourself and for your loved ones as a gift!

This course will give you complete confidence that you can sew yourself.

Note:
In our projects, we give a new life to unnecessary fabrics. We will even use small scraps of fabric that are usually placed in a rubbish bin. We will create our own unique project that cannot be replicated.

This is another contribution to maintaining a balance in nature and waste-free production. If you'd like to donate or use what you have, we'd love to accept!

• Sewing machine workshop ($50)

You can add these when you book (optional).
 
Basic sewing knowledge is required. Alternatively, it's recommended to take Sewing Course For Adults - level 1 before attending this.
 

• Sewing machines, tools and fabrics provided.
• Guidance from an expert.
• Your own fun projects to take home!

For this (Level 2) course, you will need to bring your own fabric you like.

Your teacher will tell you how much fabric you will need for your projects but for the first lesson where we will sew an apron with unusual teapot and cup pockets, you should bring:

• One meter (1m) of the main fabric, preferably thick cotton
• Half a meter (0.5m) for decorative elements.

This class series runs over 6 consecutive sessions, at the same time every week.
