Online short course: Beginners guide to upcycling clothing through sewing | Discounted price for a limited time
Course price will be increasing after a limited time I have put together a short online course to show you my ways of upcycling and sewing. I have built this course focusing on practical, follow along tutorials so that you can get stuck right in and learn on the go - I truly feel as though this is the best way to learn! (No boring theory work here) This course is aimed at beginner sewists, with 2-3 hours worth of educational sewing content. The first module introduces the basics of sewing such as getting to know your sewing machine along with all of the equipment you’ll need and their uses. The course includes 4 -5 different follow along tutorials for items of clothing, each tutorial includes atleast 2-3 sewing techniques that are helpful within the garment making world which you can then use on your own future projects on completion of the course. Meaning by the end of the course not only will you be wiser, but you will have also made multiple new pieces for your wardrobe!
