Start Sewing 3
zip it! LINED ZIP-UP bag, £45
Develop your sewing skills whilst making this a zip make up sized bag. Practise inserting a concealed zip as a sample. Although this is beginner’s class you'll need some sewing experience to do this. We'd recommend doing at least one of our other our Start Sewing projects before tackling a zip.
During the class you will learn to:
Thread a machine and wind the bobbin - a general refresher for using the sewing machine
Change the foot to a zip foot
Lay a simple pattern with the correct grain
Use the correct seam allowances
Sew around corners
Insert a standard zip in a make up size bag
Make a flat base
Insert a lining.
Pressing (use of an iron)
We will provide you with a selection of fabrics, zips and threads as well as sewing equipment.
What to bring
You can bring your own fabric (30cm of a dress-weight or fat quarter cotton is best for this class)
A sewing machine if you have one
Not to worry if you don't, you can use one of ours but on a first come first served basis. Please contact me to reserve one.
