Beginners Sewing Class

Tessuti Surry Hills • 3 hours • Up to 5 people • Book and pay online

Regular price $125.00

Tax included

The Beginners Class is designed for the complete novice — or anyone who hasn't sewn since high school. It runs as a set-format class with a fabric pack provided, so there's nothing to source beforehand.
Over the session you'll cover a range of foundational techniques:

  • Threading a machine
  • Seam construction
  • French seams
  • Raw edges
  • Darts
  • Understitching
  • Facings
  • Gathering

By the end you'll have the skills to move on to our Bring Your Own Project class, where you can start working on patterns suited to your level. Classes are held at our Surry Hills store in small groups of up to five people, so everyone gets plenty of guidance.

What to bring

  • Quality pins
  • Thread cutting scissors
  • Measuring tape
  • Unpicker
  • Pens or pencils
  • A notepad to record notes and ideas

Don't have everything? You can purchase these in store on the day - students receive a 15% discount on class day purchases. The Beginners Pack (fabric and materials) is provided by the teacher.

How to prepare

No preparation needed — everything is set up and ready for you. If you have ideas for future projects, bring along any patterns or inspiration to chat through with Nikki. It's a great chance to discuss what's suitable for your level and which fabrics to consider, so you can hit the ground running in your next class.

Joining a Bring Your Own Project class? Please email Nikki beforehand so your teacher can confirm your project is suitable for the class environment and your sewing ability.
