Basic supplies- sewing thread, machine needles, fabric scissors, pins, seam ripper. A full list of sewing kit supplies will be provided, with suggestions from nearby stores.
Fabric- No fabric is needed for the first few weeks as this will be provided. For later projects fabric choices will be discussed in week 1.

” I love to sew, whether making curtains, cushions, clothes for myself, friends and family (even my 2 dogs), there’s nothing like the feeling you get when you bring an idea to life! If you’ve never worn a piece of clothing that you’ve made yourself, trust me it’s contagious!
As a kid I was intrigued by the colourful outfits my aunt would make for her rock and roll dance school (with my mother’s help). It seemed magical the way they made sparkly shirts and dresses for us kids (and adults) to wear. A few years later after the passing of my grandmother, I inherited her sewing machine (which I still have) and decided to try my own creations, and haven’t stopped since!” – Andy
