Ready to take your sewing skills to the next level? Our Sew Beyond Basics course is perfect for kids who have mastered the basics, they can sew independently or have attended a workshop before.
In this fun and more advanced programme, kids will learn to take simple made-to-measure patterns and make them their own! With a focus on independent sewing and creative expression, this course helps young sewists gain confidence in designing and customising their projects. With hands-on guidance, they’ll develop their sewing skills while fostering creativity and independence.
By the end of the course, they'll have created their very own outfit, perfect for showing off their new skills.
As they will be working on ongoing garments, it is recommended they attend at least 2 out of the 3 days.
