About the Course

Get your young people sewing with this 2-day workshop for 11-14 year olds! Over two days in the school break, young people will learn to use a sewing machine, follow a simple pattern and use decorative techniques like applique and embroidery. Everyone will get the same basic pattern, but be free to decorate their skull however they like. They’ll finish the class with their own Mexican-inspired Spooky Skull Cushion - perfect to celebrate the Day of the Dead, or just brighten up a bedroom!

The class is aimed at 11 - 14 year olds. No prior experience of sewing is necessary, but an interest in arts and crafts is essential! 

A note about behaviour: please be aware that we’ll be using sewing machines, sharp tools and hot irons. Your child will be shown how to use all this equipment safely, but they also need to be sensible and trustworthy to keep everyone safe.

  • Sewing machine skills: Straight stitch, zigzag stitch and precision sewing.

  • Use a simple sewing pattern

  • Applique

  • Embroidery

  • Embellishments (buttons, gems etc)


What’s Included:
