About

Embarking on the journey of sewing may seem daunting, especially if your sewing machine has been idly collecting dust in a corner of your cupboard. Fear not; the Sewing 101 workshop is here to demystify the intricacies of your sewing machine and guide you through the basics of this timeless craft.

The workshop unfolds in four comprehensive parts, each designed to incrementally build your confidence and proficiency in using your sewing machine. No need for intimidation – we'll unravel the complexities and transform your sewing machine into a tool you can wield with ease.

Part 1: The Foundation
Begin your sewing odyssey by mastering the essentials. Learn the art of threading your machine and winding the bobbin – those seemingly intricate tasks will soon become second nature. Discover the nuances of switching needles and sewing feet, as well as the art of reversing and forwarding your stitches. Fear not the straight line; with practice, you'll effortlessly set up your machine like a seasoned pro.

Part 2: The Stitched Tapestry
Dive into the diverse world of stitches in the second segment. Explore the various stitches and their applications, and if your machine permits, delve into the realm of embroidery techniques. Unleash your creativity as you experiment with these versatile stitches, transforming your fabric into a stitched tapestry.

Part 3: The Fabric Symphony
Learn to decipher the language of fabrics in the third part. Identify different fabrics and understand which projects suit them best. Delve into the world of needles, discovering the right ones for different fabrics, even for those stretchy materials that may initially seem intimidating. Sewing stretchy stuff is a breeze with the right knowledge and techniques.

Part 4: The Troubleshooter
Conclude your journey by becoming a troubleshooter extraordinaire. Address any issues with your machine confidently and master the art of oiling and maintenance. Leave the workshop not just with newfound skills but with the confidence to tackle any sewing project that comes your way.

However, this workshop is more than a mere skill-building exercise. Sewing is a therapeutic art form, a means to relax and de-stress. Through this workshop, you'll tap into your creativity and craft something beautiful with your own hands, finding immense satisfaction in the process.

What's Included:
- Fabrics for practice
- Expert guidance and tips
- Email support for three months
- Ongoing support via a WhatsApp group
