- If you have a sewing machine bring it. Otherwise you can use mine
If you have never sewn before or not sewn for a while you will need for the first class:
- 50cm of calico or plain cotton fabric. (old pillowcase or sheet or shirt for the fabric will do)
- contrast thread
- bobbins
- dressmaking scissors
- glass head pins
If you have a good understanding of the sewing machine and neatening methods you can start a sewing project. You might like to alter something you already have or start a new simple project from scratch.
for this you will need
- Pattern, (If you are a very beginner a simple pattern to start with like pyjama pants, elastic waisted skirt or simple dress) (I do not recommend patterns suited to only stretch fabric for beginners)
