Learn How To Use Your Sewing Machine Workshop - Holden Clough Nurseries

Have you got a sewing machine but don’t know how to use it? Perhaps you’ve recently bought / aquired one? Maybe you’ve had one collecting dust for a while, and you’re not sure where to start with it? You aren’t alone!

With shows like The Sewing Bee, sewing and making your own soft furnishings and clothes has hugely risen in popularity. However, it’s important to know how to use your machine before you embark on your new hobby, so it doesn’t put you off when things get caught, twisted, snagged or jammed. (which will definitely happen with any machine!)

‘How to’ videos can tell you how, but it’s the ins and outs of the machine, and the troubleshooting when things go wrong that’s needed to not only enjoy sewing but succeed with it.

In this new workshop, Lynne Lemon, a professional upholsterer and experienced soft furnishings creator, teaches you everything you need to get started with sewing on your machine. You will then put what you learn into practice and create a handy tote bag.

Bring your own sewing machine and spend a relaxed, practical day getting to know how it works- no jargon, no overwhelm, and definitely no history lessons (promise!).
