Requirements List - Learn to Sew Saturday

General

If you are not sure what any of the following items are.. don't worry! We will have anything that you don't have, available to borrow on the day and we can advise you on what's best to buy depending on what your future aspirations are.

  • Sewing Machine, power lead, foot pedal and the Instruction Book
  • Spare Machine Bobbins that fit your machine
  • Universal Sewing Machine Needles (preferably size 90)
  • Pins
  • Wonder clips
  • Safety pins
  • Unpicker / Seam Ripper
  • Scissors - one pair for cutting out fabric; one pair for paper and a small pair for snipping threads and clipping fabrics
  • Marking tools (chalk, iron off/wash off pens or chalk pencils)
  • Pen, pencil and notebook
  • Tape measure

All Machine Sewing Classes

We do not provide sewing machines for classes as we believe that you will learn more from using your own machine. If your machine is too heavy to lift; let us know before the class and we can make exception by prior arrangement.

We can help you to get your sewing machine from your car to the workshop space upstairs if you pull up outside the shop on the double yellow lines to drop it off. Then you can go and park in the car park behind.

Lunch Breaks

If your class goes over lunchtime you can either:

  • Bring your lunch with you
  • Pre-order your lunch from the lovely cafe opposite the shop (The Commute).

Our classes generally only break for a maximum 30 minutes so there isn't really time to go out and buy lunch during the day.
