In our hands-on workshops pupils will learn essential sewing skills including pattern cutting, inserting a zip (where applicable) and construction using a sewing machine. 

As they sew, we'll dive into the importance of sustainablity and how upcycling fabric scraps can make a difference.  By the end, the pupils will leave with a finished product, a better understanding of sustainable crafting and newfound confidence using a sewing machine.
