About Beginners Intensive Sewing Course

The Beginners Intensive Sewing Course is always a popular event in the Summer School calendar. It’s unique to the range of Edinburgh sewing classes available. It will teach you all the foundation skills to launch you into the world of sewing. If you’re looking for the best starting point to learn expert sewing techniques whether you want to progress into dressmaking, soft furnishing or craft projects, then this is it.

Wed 17 – Fri 19 July 2024 10am- 5pm each day

Adults only (aged 16 years +)

Course Description
Please read the entire course description and all the other information given on this page and check here before booking. Once purchased, tickets are non-refundable. Ensure you have entered your information correctly. You will receive an automatic booking confirmation e-mail giving the dates and times of your class(es). You should save this e-mail and add the event to your phone’s calendar.

Starting at the very beginning with how to use a sewing machine, each session expands on the skills learnt in the previous one, building your knowledge, technical ability and confidence over the three days (18 hours in total). You’ll learn how to understand sewing machines and be competent and confident in using one. I’ll explain what the different presser feet are for and you’ll learn how to handle, measure and cut a variety of fabrics, interfacing, interlining, and tackle common fastenings such as buttons, zips and velcro.

The course is composed of a series of tutorials, each followed by a lovely project. So you can practise the skills learnt in that session.

I’ve been sewing since I was a child (and that’s a lot of years’ experience!). During that time, I’ve made every mistake in the book – then learned how to avoid them. Now you can benefit from my mistakes and learn to sew like a pro as I share my expert tips. I wish I’d known all this stuff when I started to sew.
