Description
Sew yourself a cosy sweatshirt! A great introduction to sewing with stretch fabrics such a jersey, ponte or sweatshirting.
Choose to sew either a Linden Sweater; long or short raglan sleeves, cuffs, hem band and boxy shape or a Billie Sweatshirt. The Billie Cool, casual and modern, Billie has a relaxed shape, crew neckline and classic trim details. Keep it effortless with cuffed, straight sleeves, or add some drama with on-trend balloon sleeves and deep cuffs. Whichever you choose to sew, you’ll get to grips with sewing stretch fabrics on a sewing machine.
Our sewing classes are relaxed and friendly, taking place at our beautiful studio at Holme Grange Craft Village in Wokingham, Berkshire. Students get to use our brand new digital Janome sewing machines and class sizes are capped to ensure everyone gets the time and attention they need.
