Catkin & Scraps Sewing Course
Sew a pair of PJ pants on 30th & 31st May
If you'd like to learn how to use a sewing machine and how to sew garments using a sewing pattern, this two-day course is a great place to start! You'll spend your time getting to know the sewing machines, making a simple patchwork tote on the first day and then a pair of pj bottoms on the second day.
The class is very small - a maximum of four people - so you'll receive plenty of help along the way and we'll take it at whatever pace you feel comfortable. Your sewing pattern is included in the price, and is size and gender inclusive.
The class will be held at Catkin & Scraps in Ulverston town centre on Thursday May 30th and Friday May 31st 10am-4pm. Book online or at the shop to reserve your place.
