Join Jane for a workshop style sewing session making something fun whilst developing your confidence and skills around your sewing machine.
Stitch a cute little pouch…for your lipstick…tea bag…tablets. Learn how to scale it up for your phone and tablet.
You’ll be making a machine made buttonhole and a covered button for this project, as well as stitching and finishing beautiful curves and using fusible interfacing.
Bring along about a quarter metre of cotton fabric, or two fat quarters of craft cotton so you have an interesting contrasting lining.

A favourite button (if you have one in granny’s button tin). We will also learn how to cover a button.

Your Tutor
Name: Jane Neesam
Bio: Jane graduated with a degree in Fashion and Textiles from Leicester Polytechnic, specialising in Contour Fashion (corsetry, lingerie and swimwear). Working as a bra designer and later as a garment technologist in the lingerie industry, Jane relished the challenges and new skills that manufacturing presented. Whilst training and qualifying as a tutor in the volunteer sector, Jane realised she could transfer those skills to share her passion and knowledge of making clothes with others. Her goal is to facilitate a sewing session where students can learn and develop at their own pace and where everyone feels valued and at ease.
