Description

I will take you through all the steps to get you sewing! All you need is a sewing machine, thread and some fabric to practice on.

I will teach you how to thread up, wind bobbins, how to mark seam allowances – and why – how to make hems and sew curves, what essential things you need and how to look after your sewing machines.

Video lessons and text to help you learn the way that works best for you. And for a one off fee you will have lifetime access so you can go back and watch things again and again!

24 lessons to help you really get to grips with a sewing machine. Taught by Jennie who has been teaching for over 15 years and really understands what you want to learn and how to get this across. Clear, friendly, well paced, taking the fear and the stress out of learning about your machine. Downloadable files to help you along too!
