Sewing Machine - Fat Quarter Crafts

This 5-week course guides you through using fat quarters to create a variety of fun and practical home crafts with your sewing machine, helping you build confidence, pick up new skills, and enjoy making beautiful handmade items each week. This course introduces learners to using a sewing machine while creating a range of small projects using fat quarter fabrics. You will learn essential sewing techniques such as measuring, cutting, stitching, and finishing, while making practical and creative items.

There are no pre-course information sessions or interviews in order to enrol on this course.

You will be asked to complete a feedback form

This course is perfect for beginners and hobby sewists who want to build confidence using their sewing machine while creating simple, stylish home crafts from fat quarters.

You will need to bring your own sewing machine to the course, as working with your own equipment will help you understand how it operates and allow you to continue sewing confidently at home. Please make sure your machine is in safe, good working condition and remember to bring the user manual. 

You will also need a basic sewing kit and a pack of fat quarters, and your tutor will give guidance during the first session on what items are most suitable. Before purchasing any expensive materials or tools, please speak with your tutor for advice. As the course progresses, you will be expected to buy your own materials for the projects you choose to make.
