Learn to Sew in a Day

£87.50

Dive into the magical world of sewing  — a day that promises to ignite your creativity (with all the materials provided)! Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned stitcher ready to dust off that bobbin, this is the workshop for you, led by Alison Leese, expert seamstress and owner of Ministry of Craft. 

Start by learning the art of threading a sewing machine (no more bobbin confusion!), master essential stitches, discover the secrets of seam guides, flawless curves, perfect pivoting and reversing. 

You’ll then use these skills to sew a handy tote bag. We’ll take you through how to sew seams, zig-zag raw edges, create a hem and attach straps 

With this under your belt you’ll be ready to take on a zip. The final make of the day will be a lovely lined make-up bag, complete with zip, you can slip it in your tote bag and leave with two gorgeous makes and a new sewing addiction!
